JOURNAL OP THE SENATE.
A message was received from the House of Representatives, by Mr.
Hitt, informing the Senate that the House had appointed a committee
on their part, to act in conjunction with a committee on the part of
the Senate, to wait upon the Governor and inform him of their read¬
iness to receive any communication, by way of message, he may think
proper to make.
A message was received from the Governor, by Mr. Thomas B.
Monroe, jr., Secretary of State.
Mr. Speaker: I am directed by the Governor to lay before the Sen¬
ate a message in writing.
Which was taken up and read as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:
In assembling at the Capitol for the purpose of transacting the busi¬
ness of your constituents, I have abundant cause to congratulate you.
The industry and the energy of our people have been amply rewarded
during the last year. Our recovery from the late revulsion has been
rapid beyond the expectations of the most sanguine: confidence has
been restored—trade has revived, and our State is in a highly prosper¬
ous condition. In returning thanks to God for his multiplied blessings,
we should seek from Him wisdom, and ask His guidance in the faithful
discharge of our duties. Relying upon the intelligence of the people,
and upon your wisdom, patriotism, and fidelity to them, I am happily
relieved from the necessity of an elaborate discussion of any question,
and I shall proceed in the conscientious discharge of a duty imposed
upon me by the Constitution, to present to you in as condensed and
compact a form as possible the condition of the State, with such
recommendations as seem to me expedient.
FINANCES.
Below I submit to you a statement of the finances of the State for
the fiscal years 1858 and 1859. It will be seen from the Auditor’s re¬
port, that the taxable property of the State, for the year ending 10th
October, 1859, was $493,409,363, and exceeded that of the previous
year the sum of $28,480,550, and that the balance remaining in the
Treasury on the 10th of October, 1859, was $136,463 47, nearly all of
which sum belonged, from the Auditor’s statement, to the Sinking Fund.

The last year’s revenue is not collected as closely as usual, which
may account for the small sum above mentioned belonging to the reve¬

to be closed, and will be speedily done.
SINKING FUND.
The balance on the 10th October, 1859, in the Treasury, not embraced
in the above statement, belonging to the Sinking Fund proper, which
should be added to that from the revenue department, as above stated,
is $208,055 25. Then add the outstanding loan at 6 per cent, to indi¬
viduals, under the act of the Legislature, due the 10th October, 1859,
$414,527, and you have the whole amount of the SinkingFund proper,
$758,283 28.

17th. Interest on Sinking Fund loans.
The Fund is accomplishing the great purpose for which it was cre¬
ated, to-wit, the payment of the principal and interest of the State debt
as it falls due. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the above
sum will be applied to the payment of the bonds of the State which
fall due on the 1st day of January next, and the means are on hand to
pay the semi-annual interest due on the State debt the 1st of January
next, which will be promptly done. The balance which may remain
should be devoted to the extinguishment of our outstanding debts, as
fast as they can be obtained, rather than run the hazard of loaning it
to individuals under the act referred to, or to the banks. It is of the first
importance to extinguish the State debt as speedily as possible, and
whenever we have the means to do it.
The following is a statement of the interest on the State debt, due
semi-annually:
Annual interest on 6 per cent, bonds- $188,758 44
Annual interest on 5 per cent, bonds- 86,663 50
Total interest paid annually_ $275,421 94
Semi-annual interest_ $137,710 97
The State has issued bonds to the Southern Bank for $600,000, the
interest on same being paid regularly by the bank.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
As part of the resources of the State, the following stocks arc owned
by the State in works of internal improvement, amounting in the ag¬
gregate to $4,830,474 99, (exclusive of the stock held by the State in
the Frankfort and Lexington Railroad, and the bond upon the Louisville

COMMON SCHOOLS.
The Common School system is in a flourishing condition in most of
the State, and promises to meet the most sanguine expectations of its
friends. It is the first duty of a State to educate its children, and this
system should be cherished and nurtured and perfected to the highest
possible degree. The laws upon the subject should be carefully revised
and simplified, and as the Superintendent doubtless will visit every
portion of the State so as to test the practicable workings of the sys¬
tem, and be enabled, from personal observation, the more certainly to
suggest remedies for any defects, we may expect much in the future
from one so eminently qualified for the position, and whose efforts, and
whose fine talents and attainments, are so deeply devoted to the cause
of education. Believing the means to sustain it should be increased,
I recommend a revision and change of the laws regulating fines and
forfeitures, and that a law be passed applying at least one half of all
sums collected on account of them to the Common School fund. Under
the present custom of petitioning the executive to remit them—a custom
that seems to have the sanction of a majoi’ity of the communities that
impose them—the law, as it exists, seems to be a farce, and very little
is realized beyond the amount necessary to secure the vigilant and
efficient action of the commonwealth’s attorneys, and very slight, if
any restraints, imposed upon the offenders. Nearly every petition pre¬
sents strong reasons for executive interference, sworn to, backed by
strong affidavits, and appeals to sympathy and by letters and the signa¬
tures of some of the most respectable and influential men in the neigh¬
borhood, and often by the Judges, commonwealth’s attorneys, and jurors
jidio impose them. As the custom is, the law is a farce, and I recom¬
mend a change. The fiscal year ends 31st December for common

auditor’s office.
The conduct and management of the business of the Auditor’s office
are not second in importance to any other department of the public
service. Coming into office so recently, I felt it to be my duty, before
the assembling of the Legislature, to call upon the present able and
efficient Auditor for such information and suggestions m regard to the
business of his office as he migjit deem necessary. In reply, lie kindly
furnished me the following, which I extract from a note addressed to
me by him:
“ The business of this department is increasing constantly, and there
should be additional clerks allowed, with better salaries; or if this is
not done, that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund should be author¬
ized to appoint a secretary who shall take charge of the Sinking Fund,
Internal Improvement, and School Fund departments, and they be au-

thorized to define the Secretary’s duty, and allow him a fair compen¬
sation. My term expires on the first Monday in January next, and
such are the duties required of me, that it will be impossible to attend
to all the business properly, complete the necessary reports, and bring
up all the books by that time, hence I should like further time allowed
me to complete this business.”
It is for you to determine whether these suggestions should be car¬
ried into effect; but I cannot refrain from recommending that the addi¬
tional time he asks be allowed the Auditor to bring up the business of
the office to the first Monday in January next, when his official term
expires.
TREASURY.
I refer you to the reports of the Treasurer for a statement of the
Treasury Department for the last two fiscal years.
BANKS.
For the extraordinary privileges granted to the banks the Legislature
has wisely required them to furnish a sound and uniform currency.
That currency is the representative of property and labor, and should
at all times be convertible into gold and silver. The constitution of
the United States recognizes nothing else as a tender, or as a medium
of exchange, or a standard of value. The nearer you can reduce the
circulation in paper to the actual wants of the people, and the amount
of specie in the vaults of the banks, the better. The dangers of these
institutions would be greatly lessened if they were required to issue
dollar for dollar only. Habits of luxury, idleness, and extravagance
would not be engendered. The cupidity of the stockholders and the
spirit of speculation would be checked; fluctuations in trade would be
prevented; prices would not be elevated or depressed by the expan¬
sions and contractions which have' so disastrously to the* people marked
their management throughout the country. Many causes, particularly
the extensive discoveries and great influx of gold and silver into our
circhlation, together with the constant and wholesome check to over
issues occasioned by the demands of the brokers upon the banks, are
fast contributing to this result; so that in the future we may look for a
sounder paper currency, and their better management. The use of an
undue proportion of their means in the purchase of bills of exchange,
is greatly to be deplored, and constitutes the chief objection to their
management. The temptation is great to enlarge their dividends, and
the interests of the people, for whose benefit they were chiefly created,

are not only neglected but suffer severely. Instead of benefits received,
oppressive burdens are imposed upon them, which no labor can endure.
Instead of being the handmaids of industry, they become the instru¬
ments of oppression—a curse and not a blessing. They should be kept
entirely under the control of the people. The people, through their
representatives, have control under the constitution of life, liberty, and
property. Why not give them the control of the banks? There can
be no danger in trusting the people with their control, whose interests
they were created to secure; and whenever they lose sight of these—
whenever they become the agents of wrong and misrule, and prey upon
the community they were created to protect, they should forfeit their
charters, and be abolished. Too much vigilance over or scrutiny into
their affairs, cannot be exercised by the Legislature. It might have been
well to have appointed a board of supervisors over them, to visit them
quarterly, and report under oath to the Governor their condition. You
could then have ascertained the amount of circulation, debts, deposits,
and liabilities, every three months, and whether or not they were
acting within the limits of their charters. These supervisors
would have acted as a check when under strong temptations to
make extraordinary profits for the stockholders, either by over issues
of their paper, or in violating the law in dealing in bills of exchange.
When the people did not get the quantity of money they were en¬
titled to upon loan, it would have been reported. When an over-pro¬
portion was used in bills of exchange, it would have been discovered.
When the difference in exchange charged by the banks was greater
than that allowed by law, and these incorporated companies became
usurers, vast monopolies, and shaving shops, contrary to the object of
their creation, oppressing instead, of relieving the people whom they
were intended to benefit, or there were violations of their charters in
any way, it would have been reported. The exact condition and
operations of these vast institutions, by which our industry is regulated
and our trade controlled, with all their extraordinary power for good or
for evil, would have been at all times known to the people, and their in¬
terests fully protected. The amount of banking capital could have been
known every three months during the year, and we could have regu¬
lated our policy accordingly. What the trade of our commonwealth
needs is hard to tell; but certain I am, with the facilities now afforded
by the banks now in existence, and which seem to be well managed,
we have banking capital enough.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Dec. 6.
Dec. 6.]
Bank dividends have become so large and uniform in Kentucky,that
the stocks of our banks have run up to enormous prices. Is this a
good or a bad sign, so far as the interests of the people are concerned ?
The profit in dividends and in large reserved and contingent funds
comes out of the industry of the people at last. Under the strong tempta¬
tions to persons to make combinations to get similar charters, in order to
secure the stock of new banks, which would pay extraordinary profits,
as they suppose, and the stock of which would soon advance if these
dividends were realized, there may be efforts made to charter more
banks by the Legislature, and to increase the circulation, now believed
to be amply sufficient to meet the legitimate wants of our people.
If successful, it would bring incalculable evils upon the people. We
have banks enough, and too many; let us have no more.
If our present banks had been prevented from issuing bills of no less
denomination than $10, and had been compelled to redeem their notes
at the counter where they were issued, together with the notes of all
the banks they put in circulation, it would have been better for the
laboring classes, and for the interests of the whole people. I take
pleasure in saying that the present banks in Kentucky have been
as well managed by their very efficient and highly capable officers,
as any in the country. It is a matter of just pride for us to know, that
while, during the revulsion of 1857, nearly all the banks of neighbor¬
ing States suspended specie payments, not a bank in Kentucky closed
its doors. When our banks were charging 1 or 2 per cent, for eastern
exchange, adjacent States were charging from 3 to 10 per cent. Our
bonds were at or above par, and their’s greatly below, when those
bonds were probably just as secure. Our State credit rose with the
revulsion and their’s fell, which was chiefly owing to the solvency and
judicious management of our banks; and 1 can with just cause and
with pride congratulate you to-day upon the high standing, charac¬
ter, and credit of the State, abroad as well as at home.
In order to keep up the credit of our banks, and the character and
credit of the State, a sound currency and a healthy condition of our
trade, I would deplore the passage of any more bank charters, and
would certainly withhold from them my sanction. Much time and
money has been wasted in legislating for individuals and classes, and in
hasty and inconsiderate legislation toward the close of a session, when
the important business of the State has been postponed at its com¬
mencement; and while I entertain the profoundest respect for both

Houses of the Legislature, the constitution imposes upon me the duty
of examining closely every bill, and of withholding my approval from
hasty, unwise, or unconstitutional legislation. Paper money is cer¬
tainly a convenience to the people; but if we have too much of it, its
value is lessened and it becomes an evil. Have you not paid too
dearly already for the whistle? I candidly acknowledge that as an
original proposition, I would have thought it had policy to create any
banks at all. It would have been far better for Kentucky, in my
opinion, if we had never had one in the State ; but having them—de¬
pendent as we are upon them, with the whole trade and interests of
the State deeply interwoven with them—we must guard and protect
those in existence, and the vast interests they have committed to their
hands.
CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

Of the whole number admitted since 1824, it will be seen that more
than one-third havebeen restored and discharged, to become useful mem¬
bers of society. A large majority of the cases recover when they are
put under treatment in the Asylum within the first year of their insani¬
ty, and before they are confirmed lunatics. I cannot go into the details
of this lengthy and very able report, but it is sufficient to say, unpar¬
alleled success has attended the efforts of the Superintendents and
managers of these institutions, in the restoration and improvement of
the patients confided to their care. The reports will compare favora¬
bly with any I have read.
The institution at Lexington was recommended by Gov. Adair in his
message, and established during his administration. Before that time
the poor lunatic was treated as a wild beast, chained, whipped, starved,
and maltreated in every way, and his condition rendered utterly hope¬
less of recovery. What a contrast is there now between the present
treatment and the treatment of that day, and many years after, and
how wonderfully marked for the better. 1 had the pleasure, a short
time ago, of inspecting in person the one at Lexington, and I can bear
testimony to the great change -within a few years. There were neat¬
ness, cleanliness, and an air of comfort and cheerfulness throughout
the entire institution. The patients were respectful to those who had
charge of them, were quiet, and seemed contented with their lot, and
comparatively happy. A large number of them were farmers, and
these particularly begged to have an appropriation from the Legisla¬
ture to purchase land adjoining, which would give them the exercise

their health and improvement required in the open air, and render their
labor quite profitable.
When I heard the reasons of the Superintendent for making this
appropriation, which are referred to in his report, and which you can
examine for yourselves, I did not doubt the economy and propriety of
making, at a reasonable price, such a purchase, and I therefore earn¬
estly recommend it to your favorable consideration, as a measure not
only of humanity but of economy.
Your attention is directed also to the report of the very polite and
competent Superintendent of the Institution for the Blind, near Louis¬
ville. The number of pupils in this institution was, on the 1st of No¬
vember last, 42; admitted during the year, 8; died, none. Many of
the pupils enter in feeble health, and only three have died in 18 years.
A larger number is expected, as the session had just commenced, and
some of the pupils had not returned. For the last few years, and since
its removal to the present site by a Board of Commissioners appointed
by Gov. Powell under an act of the Legislature, there has been a
marked improvement in the school. The site was examined in person
by Gov. Powell, who gave his unqualified approval and indorsed its
purchase by the Trustees. The Superintendent reports that the insti¬
tution is greatly indebted to Gov. Powell’s administration for the high
degree of prosperity it now enjoys. It has more than met the
expectations of its friends since its removal, and I recommend it to
your care. The State has made provision, with a liberality worthy
of her, for all the youth, including the blind children within her bor¬
ders, and ere long they will bq gathered into the schools from every
region of the Commonwealth. The Trustees will present their repo t,
and a visit from some of the pupils may be expected for examination
before the Legislature.
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Danville, another one of our char¬
itable institutions, was established during the administration of Gov.
Desha, having been recommended by him in his message. From a small
and doubtful beginning, under the management of one of the most
competent, devoted, and philanthropic of men, it has grown into the
most successful and interesting institution in the country-—under his
unceasing care it has been a blessing to the afflicted inmates and an
honor to the State. There were over one hundred pupils last year, and
the health, comfort, and progress, remarkable indeed. There are four
buildings which have cost about $60,000, when all that has been appro-

priated by the Legislature, within thirty years, at different times, is
$17,500 for building purposes. The Trustees have bought an addition
to the 10 acres formerly purchased of 37£ acres of ground at $125 per
acre, and amountingto $4,687 50, and two lots adjoining at $900, which
purchases are invaluable to the institution, affording pasture for cows,
hay, oats, and a large garden worked by the boys, which supplies them
with nearly all their vegetables; besides,there is a fine orchard upon
it which will yield an abundant supply of fruit. The last and main
building, which is 106 feet in length, 60 feet wide, and 5 stories high, is
one of the most imposing structures I ever saw, and cost the Trustees
$39,650 44; it is not quite finished; it is insured for only $20,000, their
means being so scanty as not to enable them to go beyond this amount,
or to insure the other three buildings owing to the lack of means. The
house is heated in part by steam, by Gold’s heater, a successful, econ¬
omical, and most comfortable mode of warming it. The one half of
the house is warmed by one fire, which consumes only a cord of wood
per day, and which, if the apparatus were extended, would heat the
whole building. The plumbing works are also unfinished, which are
intended to supply the house with waler, and carry ofl’the waste water.
There are only two cisterns, which do not supply the family of over 100
persons, but they are compelled to haul water; they need four more, all
of which will be absolutely needed in case of fire. A servants’ house has
been also erected, which is unfinished and cannot be used. All the
grounds need new fencing. Gas is greatly needed to light the new build¬
ing, both for convenience and economy ; the more light the better for deaf
mutes, who are taught almost everything through the eye. During the
last year the tin roof of the main building was removed by a hurricane,
and has been replaced at a cost of $627. There is also preparing for
the press an elementary work in two volumes, for the instruction of
the deaf and dumb, illustrated by 500 handsome wood engravings,
which is spoken of most highly in all the schools, and which the prin¬
cipal (Mr. Jacobs) of this institution thinks will enable them to teach
the pupils in two years as much as they now learn in three or four
years. Several institutions in other States, I am informed, besides
our own, are now anxiously awaiting for its appearance! The cost of
this work, which is deemed indispensable to the institution, will be
about $1,700, $500 of which the generous and charitable principal
proposes to give himself, so anxious is he to have it introduced into the
schools.

I have been thus minute to put you in possession of my reasons for

We have our benevolent institutions which I have recommended to
your favorable consideration—the hospitals for the insane, the insti¬
tutions for the deaf and the dumb, and the blind. They have been
eminently successful, more than meeting our expectations. We are
justly proud of them. Yon have liberally supported them ; your money
cannot be expended in any cause which appeals for protection and
support more strongly to both the head and the heart. It is the cause
of philanthropy, and your liberality heretofore has been applauded by
the just and generous and humane people of the whole State. It needs
no argument to prove to an enlightened and virtuous constituency that
these unfortunate classes of our citizens are entitled to your sympathy
and protection, and to every reasonable effort to alleviate their misfor¬
tunes. You need, one other institution of a kindred character. The Insane
Hospital has brought its blessings. The dreaded maniac has been
restored to reason and to society. The poor sorrowing neglected mute
has mental ears to hear; and the pitiable, resigned, but hopeless blind
man, now rejoices in mental sight. No longer ignorant or helpless,
they now rejoice in the light of knowledge and religion. Kentucky
was among the first to establish a hospital for the insane.—the fourth
State to establish an institution for the deaf and dumb. She has estab¬
lished one for the blind. They are the cherished objects of her people;
her light and her glory. She rejoices in their success; she points to
them with pride. She has one more to establish before her work of
charity, of love, of religion, and of humanity, is complete. There is
yet another class of her helpless people who claim her sympathies and
her support. It is her idiots and her feeble-minded children. There
are over 890 of them-—more than 500, as shown by the Auditor’s report,
now a tax upon her wealth of about $30,000 per annum, and the num¬
ber is steadily increasing. Add to this number 300 more of the same
class, who are supported by their relatives, or have sufficient property
of their own. Let her establish a school for these poor imbeciles, and
all, all of her suffering children will be provided for, and every species
of involuntary suffering in the power of the State to aid, will be

relieved. It is economy as well as humanity to do it. I recommend
it, earnestly recommend it, to your favorable consideration.
This unfortunate class of our race, under proper training, are capa¬
ble of an extraordinary degree of improvement; nearly all of them in
a few years could be sufficiently educated to take care of themselves;
nearly all have intellect. The experiments which have been made
satisfactorily prove it. They have been eminently successful both in
this country and Europe. A number of schools are now in successful
operation in other States. The State ot Pennsylvania has an institu¬
tion of the kind, and has expended $G0,000 in the erection of buildings,
besides an annuity of $4,000 for the maintenance oi 20 indigent imbe¬
ciles. The very kind and able superintendent of this institution, Dr.
Joseph Parris, jr., has generously proposed to me to visit the Legisla¬
ture of Kentucky with a number of his pupils, if we need a demonstra¬
tion of its practicability. The experiments which have been made
at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Danville, I am informed by the
enlightened and experienced principal, and by the learned Superin¬
tendent at the Lexington Hospital, who take a great interest in this
matter, and have devoted much study to it, have been eminently
successful. Nearly all of them in childhood have some intellect,
differing in degree. A single spark, useless and feeble as it glistens in
the dark, may be fanned and fed until it becomes a considerable light.
By careful cultivation these feeble, helpless, and loathsome objects may
be greatly improved in intellect, and made objects of interest, affec¬
tion, and comparative intelligence. "What a mass of human misery
would be relieved in a generation by a school for these children. Five,
six, seven, or eight hundred households in Kentucky would be relieved,
whose every-day life is shadowed by the presence of these unfortu¬
nates. I can conceive of no possible public measure which would
relieve so much wretchedness and make so many hearts glad, as the
establishment of a school for the training of these unfortunate chil¬
dren. It can be done, too, without adding anything to the public
expenditure, except for the erection of buildings, and the purchase of
a suitable site. Nay, it would stop the annual increase of the large
sum now spent, as shown by the Auditor’s reports, to which, for inform¬
ation, you are referred; and it would stop the frauds upon the treasury.
The beginning should be upon an economical scale, and gradually
extended to meet the wants of the school. Support should not be with¬

certain ages should be required to be placed in the school on pain of
forfeiting (or withdrawing) the stipend now afforded. By degrees the
State would be relieved by death of the support of those too old for
instruction. The young would be trained and sent home, in the great
majority of cases, to earn their own support, and the whole face of the
matter be changed in a generation.
It has been discussed in the public journals, and wherever discussed
it has been adopted, apd has been successful. Lunatics were once
treated in Kentucky as idiots now are. How wonderful the change.
Poverty and helplessness implore you to establish such a school; pub¬
lic policy demands it; humanity asks it; economy would be promoted
by it; the.superior intelligence and philanthropy of the representatives
of a free, just, and generous people, and the enlightened spirit of the
age, I hope will require it to be done.
Closely connected with the question is the prevention of marriage
between first cousins. By a single act of the Legislature you can
save in the future an immense amount of suffering. You can dimin¬
ish, according to the opinion of those who have fully investigated this
subject, twenty per cent, of the number of imbeciles, insane deaf mutes,
and blind children. Render the marriage of cousins illegal, and a great
evil is at once eradicated. At least from fifteen to twenty per cent,
of all these sufferers are the offspring of cousins. A gentleman of
science, of learning, and enlarged experience, who has for a long time
paid a great deal of attention to this subject, recently informed me he
never yet had seen all the children so related sound in body and mind.
There is always among some of them some defect, mentally or bodily.
A large number of the pupils (so say the teachers) in the Deaf and
Dumb Asylums are the children of cousins. At Danville there are four
sisters, deaf and dumb, the. children of cousins; they have two speaking
brothers, both in delicate health. There is also, from another family,
there, a sister and brother, children of cousins. There is another instance
of sister and brother, there, also deaf and dumb, the children of second
cousins, showing that the defect extends beyond even the second degree.
In that institution at Danville, as in other States,I am informed from six¬
teen to twenty percent, of the pupils are now, and always have been, the
children of cousins. The State, when the parents or friends of these
children are not able to provide for them, has to do it; and the instances
are numerous where the burden falls on her to provide for and educate
them as mutes, insane blind, or imbeciles. She is weakened by so many
28

of her citizens suffering these privations, and a heavy tax is thereby
imposed upon her. Is it not her right and her duty to protect herself
against the evil and expense by forbidding such unions, which nature
plainly forbids by the natural penalty she uniformly inflicts?
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The propriety of continuing the Geological Survey of the State is an
important question which presents itself for your consideration. The
survey, as you are aware, was commenced several years ago, and has
been hitherto skillfully and diligently prosecuted by those to whom it
was intrusted. Liberal appropriations toward it have, from time to
time, been made by the legislature. Large sums have been expended
upon the enterprise. It is for you to determine whether the work shall
be continued or abandoned. There can be no doubt that the judgment
of an intelligent constituency will justify you in making the necessary
appropriation to sustain it. Fortunately the financial condition of the
Common wealth forbids that any false idea of economy should induce
you to throw away the means already expended by refusing to carry
it on to completion.
It requires no argument from me to convince the representatives of
the people that the development of the mineral and agricultural wealth
of the State is an object of paramount importance. In lieu of argu¬
ment, we have the experience of many of our sister States which have
been thoroughly surveyed, demonstrating the benefits which they have
derived from such an enlightened policy. Kentucky should not rest
satisfied to lag behind them in scientific enterprise—should not pause
in the useful work she has so liberally begun, nor consent to lose the
advantages to be derived from its continued prosecution.
Not the least important consideration urging' us on to the final ac¬
complishment of the survey is the fact that the portions of the State
mostly to be benefited by it are those—among them the mountain
regions of the State—which have not, in times past, felt the liberal aid
of the Commonwealth in the execution of works of internal improve¬
ment. Such improvements have increasad the wealth of other sec¬
tions, and it is but an act of simple justice that the neglected counties
should in some measure be compensated by bringing to light their
hidden treasures. Millions have been freely lavished in building rail¬
roads and turnpikes, and in slack-watering the streams of a highlv
favored portion of our territory.—shall a small sum, in comparison, be

with wealth ? The agricultural portions of the State are no less inter¬
ested in the prosecution of the work. That you may be prepared to
act understandingly with reference to this question, I refer you to the
accompanying synopsis of the principal results of the survey, addressed
to me by Dr. D. D. Owen, State Geologist, showing the value and im¬
portance of the work performed, and what remains to be done to make
the Geological survey of Kentucky complete:
BOUNDARY BETWEEN KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE.
The Commissioners appointed by the Governor, under the act of the
last Legislature, to act in conjunction with a similar committee ap¬
pointed by the Governor of Tennessee, in running and re-marking the
boundary line between the two States, have performed that duty in a
highly satisfactory manner, and I take pleasure in laying before you
their report, to which you are referred for information. The instru¬
ments with which this work was performed were of a very superior
character, and were obtained on loan from Professor Baclie, the very
accomplished and accommodating chief of the United States Coa?.t
Survey. Each county, especially along the border line, should have
deposited with the county clerk, for the use of the public, a copy of
this important and able report, with the maps accompanying it.
WOLF ISLAND.
The dispute between the States of Missouri and Kentucky, in regard
to W olf Island in the Mississippi river, has had all the attention neces¬
sary to protect the rights of our citizens. Jurisdiction over it is claimed
by the State of Missouri, which involves the right of our citizens, and a
bill has been filed in the Supreme Court of the United States against
the State of Kentucky to settle the question. My answer for the State
has been prepared and transmitted to Washington City by the dis¬
tinguished counsel engaged in the case, to be filed without delay.
Other eminent counsel, who practice regularly before the Supreme
Court, through abundant caution, have been engaged to defend the
suit at Washington; and familiar with the whole case, and deeply iuter-
ested.in it as they are, I have great confidence in the result.
REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES.
I invite your attention to the valuable report of the distinguished
physician who has had charge of the subject, in regard to the registra¬
tion of the births, deaths, and marriages in the State since the last report,
under the act of the Legislature, and recommend that a suitable allow¬
ance be made for the service lie has rendered. The collection of sta-

tistics upon the subject has been regarded by some of the most eminent
physicians and distinguished scientific men in the country, who have
turned their attention particularly to this subject, as of great impor¬
tance in ascertaining the causes of mortality, and in suggesting the
means of preventing disease and securing the health of the people.
TOLL-BOOKS AND BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.
In order to guard successfully against frauds in elections, I recom¬
mend that the mode of setting down the votes on the poll-books be so
changed that the clerks of the elections be required to keep the vote
in numerals, commencing at the head of 'each column with the figure
1, and so continuing the count in numerals down to the loot of the
page. No vote could then be changed without a change of the whole
column, which would expose the fraud. The bribery and betting and
mobs at our elections are alarmingly on the increase, and deserve your
serious and most earnest consideration. The exercise of the elective
franchise is the dearest right of a freeman; and every man, whether he
be native or foreign, who has the right, should be allowed to exercise
this right, without molestation and without fear, no matter to what
party he belongs. A party may succeed to-day by mob violence and
outrage at the polls, but in another year that party may be turned out
of power in the spirit of retaliation by the example it has set. If the
moral sentiment of the people, or the laws, are not sufficient to sup¬
press these mobs at elections with which we have been cursed, or to
punish the offenders, all good and just men must at once see the pro¬
priety of an effective change, for it is the very essence of liberty and
a free government such as ours, to have laws to correct every evil, and
to have these laws properly inforced. I leave the whole subject to
your enlightened judgment.
AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
I lay before you, at the request of the Governor of New York, the
resolutions of the Legislature of that State herewith transmitted, upon
the subject of the reopening of the African slave trade, with the
remark that the position of Kentucky upon that question cannot be
misunderstood. Her citizens are opposed to the reopening of the
African slave trade.

steadily increasing. A report of its history, from the time it went into
operation, is now being prepared by one of the competent and distin¬
guished physicians who has charge of the patients in the establish¬
ment, (Dr. Sneed,) which in due time will be laid before you. I recom¬
mend that it be published for the information of your constituents, and
commend it to your careful consideration. For the present, I gather
from it, and the reports referred to, the following condensed and most
valuable synopsis, which discloses a fearful and rapid increase ill
crime, an utter failure to reform the convict, and in the expenditures
necessary to sustain it. While the health and comfort of the inmates
have improved under the judicious and humane management of the
Keeper, other improvements and expenditures are deemed necessary
to their well-being, as xvell as in justice to him. While it ought not
to be an object with the State to make money out of the labor of its
convicts, some system ought to be devised to make it pay the expenses
of the institution. I submit the whole question to your serious con¬
sideration, upon the statistics and facts submitted to you in the reports
and following statement:
The penitentiary system was established in Kentucky in 1798. The preamble to the law [see
Littell’s Laws of Kentucky, vol. 2] sets forth the object of the law to be—1st. To substitute a
more humane system for the punishment of crimes than that of the infliction of death; 2d. To
make an effort for the reformation of offenders against the public ; and 3d. To make restitution
and reparation,for the injury done, and for the expense of prosecution, confinement, &c. The
original institution was built where it now stands, on a much smaller scale, at a cost to the State
of about $12,0110. The first convicts were received in 1800. A Keeper was appointed by the
Governor, according to law, and received a salary of $333 per year. He had a house furnished
him in the institution. It was under the control of six Inspectors appointed by the county court
of Franklin county. Capt. John Hunter was the first Keeper, and held the office until the year
1809, when Samuel Taylor, of Mercer county, succeeded him.
The following table will show the number of convicts received during the first 15 years of the
institution : In 18U0, 2 ; 1801, 9 ; 1802,11 ; 1803, 5 ; 1804, 13 ; 1805, 11 ; 1806, 16 ; 1807, 9 ;
1808, 23 ; 1809, 15 ; 1810,9; 1811,18; 1812,17; 1813,14; 1814,10. Total, 179.
In 1812 or’13, Maj. Anderson Miller was appointed Keeper, and held the place until 1816.
In 1806, the office of agent was created, the object of which was to relieve the Keeper of the
duties of purchasing raw materials and disposing of the manufactured articles. The institution
was managed in this manner until 1816, when the office of agent was abolished by act of the
Legislature, and the entire management of the institution given to the Keeper. The board of
six inspectors was abolished in 1809, and the acting Governor made sole inspector. The office
of agent was re-created in 1818, and continued until 1825, when the institution was disposed of
to Joel Scott on'the partnership principle. Up to the year 1823 there had been confined in the
institution about 700 convicts ; since then the number has been gradually and steadily on the
increase. According to the Keeper’s and Auditor’s reports, the institution had been a continual
tax upon the treasury from thetime of erection to the year 1825, when Mr. Scott took charge of
it. There were in confinement when Mr Scott took the institution 74 miserable, ragged, and
destitute inmates. The buildings were in a state of wretched decay, and fast going to destruc¬
tion. Notwithstanding this state of things, he agreed to guarantee to the State a profit of $1,000
per annum, and keep the institution five years for one-half of the profits over and above the
$ 1 , 000 .
He acted as Keeper on the above terms ten years, and declared a net profit of $94,000, one-
lialf of which he received and the other half went to the interest of the State. The State’s por¬
tion was appropriated to the building of cells, workshops, Sic., &c., within the walls, not a dollar
going into the treasury. Mr. Theobalds succeeded Mr. Scott, and kept the institution ten years,
on the same terms. His profits, according to his annual reports, amounted to over $200,000. He
claims to have paid into thetreasury over and above the amounts drawn for improvements $10,000
in cash. This was the first money ever paid by the institution into the public treasury. Mr.

Craig succeeded Mr. T., and kept the institution eleven years, and reported profits amounting to
eighty or unity thousand dollars, every cent ot' which was expended in improvements, and over
$20,000 was drawn by him from the treasury for extra buildings, enlarging the arei, &c., so that
the institution failed to pay its own way during his administration by the latter sum. Mr. Craig
guaranteed to the State a clear profit of $5,000, and agreed to take one-third of the net profits
as his portion.
M,. Ward was agent and keeper four years, and took it under the same regulations that it was
held by Mr. Craig. The first year lie declared a profit of about $12,000; but the Legislature
afterwards changed the contract, giving it to him the remaining three years at $6,000 per year,
and giving him the entire proceeds of the first year for $5,000. The remaining three years of
Mr. Ward’s rent has been appropriate!, with $20,000 additional out of the treasury, to extend
the walls, build hospital, sewer, &c. The institution is now, in rntny respects, better than ever
before. It has cost, from its first erection to the present date, over half a million of dollars.
All efforts to make the institution a source of revenue to the State has heretofore proved a
failure, and I do not believe it practicable under any plan of management to make it do more
than sustain itself. The present system is an outrage upon humanity, and ought to be abolished
if a better can be instituted. There will soon bo 301) inmates in confinement, and the number
is still rapidly on the increase. To provide for this increase will require heavy additional out-
ays for cells and other buildings.

One of the great difficulties in devising plans for the proper management of this institution, is
the utter ignoranceof the great massof the people as to its management heretofore. To furnish
this information, Dr. Sneed, a learned and scientific physician of Frankfort, has compiled a
faithful history of the institution, which embraces all the reports and facts bearing upon the
subject. He has been engaged on it for more than six years. The manuscript will be
presented to you, and I recommend its publication for the info'rmation of your constit¬
uents.

The above tables are only approximative, but are supposed to be nearly correct. At the same
rate of increase there will be between 500 and 600 convicts to be provided for in the next twenty
years. The present institution is not susceptible of being so enlarged as to accommodate over
300 to 350, and hence the necessity of providing another institution for the future, or greatly
enlargiug the present one.

ARSENAL.
By the Quarter-Master General’s report, to which I refer you, it will
be observed we have 46 pieces of ordinance, 8,610 muskets, 2,336
rifles, 1,772 pistols, 1,280 swords, and 5,800 infantry accoutrements,
a very large proportion of which are in good order and ready for
service.
SLAVERY QUESTION.
I had not intended to have alluded, in this paper, to the slavery ques¬
tion ; but in view of recent occurrences, and the extraordinary doctrines
avowed by the Black Republican party, which I think are directly hos¬
tile to the longer continuance of the Union, I have thought proper to
refer to the subject. I do not believe slavery to be wrong. I do not
believe it to be a moral, social, or political evil. Many distinguished
patriots of the South committed, in my judgment, a great error when
they made this admission, in the earlier days of the Republic. Our
fathers did no wrong to humanity when they embodied it in the Con¬
stitution ; but they followed the customs, the laws, and the example of
the whole civilized world. The question was settled many thousand
years ago, in the patriarchal ages. Abraham introduced slavery into
his system of government, which had the recognition and protection
of God. It came down as an inheritance to Isaac and to Jacob and
the patriarchs. Moses found it a part of the Jewish polity, recognized
by law. He was the great law-giver, the chosen political and reli¬
gious leader of the Jews, and had, as such, received his commands
upon Mount Sinai from God himself. If it had been regarded as an
evil, would he not have abolished it? Would not the Almighty have
commanded him to do it? It was the slavery of buying and selling
then in existence by law, and recognized and spoken of in the Leviti-
cal Code, “ that the heathen shall be your bondmen forever,” and thus
the institution came down undisturbed through all the Governors and
Judges to the coming of the Savior. Did he disturb it? Did ha
denounce it as a great wrong ?—a moral, social, or political evil ? Could
he not have had it abolished with a word? Undenounced and undis¬
turbed by him, it was transmitted to the times of the Apostles, who
recognized and treated it in the same way; for when Onesemus the
slave, ran off from his master Philemon, and went to the Apostle Paul
for protection, did he conceal him ? did he give him protection ? Did
he not tell him to go home to his master ? Did he not, recognizing
fully the service that was due from the slave to his.master, send, him

back, with the advice he should be obedient? Such was the view
taken of this institution by the patriarchs by whom it was established;
by Moses and the .Tews-by Joshua and other Judges and Governors-
by the Savior and the Apostles, in the earlier ages; and so on down to
the great commentators on the Bible-Dr. Adam Clark and his asso¬
ciates. It came thus regularly down to us through all the various
phases and changes in society and of government.
The Spaniards, the English, and the Dutch, all recognized it by law
and dealt in them as traffic-as merchandise. They bought and sold
‘them under the authority of law, and finally introduced them on this
continent as property. When the colonies rebelled against the mother
country it was an existing institution here, and it was recognized by
our Constitution. Did our fathers think they were perpetrating a
„reat wrong when they protected it in the compact of the Constitu¬
tion?—when they, the greatest, the best, the most patriotic, the bravest
and the wisest body of men that ever assembled for any purpose, were
lookin' 1 ' over the Bible and the history of the past for materials to form
and to found the most perfect government that ever had been made ;
did they think they were embodying discordant elements that would
eventually dissolve their work?--^ the antagonistic ideas embraced in
t],at Constitution of part free and part slave States could not exist together,
but would bring about an “ irrepressible conflict,” which would result
in a total change of the nature of their work or dissolve the Union?
No ‘ the wisdom of their work, with all its glorious compromises, not¬
withstanding the great expansion of our territory, and the new ele¬
ments of strife constantly introduced to test the strength of the structure,
has been most signally and triumphantly illustrated in the strength,
happiness, and prosperity of our people, and in its unexampled growth.
Part free and part slave States, our progress has been wonderful—unex¬
ampled in the history of the world. With the best government, with
the freest and happiest and most powerful people on earth, we are the
wonder, the admiration, and the envy of the world. It is the work of
their hands, brought to its present position by the indomitable energy
and enterprising spirit of their worthy descendants, who have thus far
known how to appreciate their priceless inheritance. There it is, the
magnificent structure, with all its glorious memories and blessings, the
][lht and glory of the world—still appreciated, we trust, still cherished
by the free and the slave States, by the North and the South, the East and
the West _still reverenced, honored, and loved in all the sublimity of

its grandeur. And shall it continue to exist? The issue is made. It
is proclaimed everywhere, by the reckless leaders of a powerful section¬
al party in the free States, that the government cannot exist as part
free and part slave, but must be all one or the other.
What says Kentucky ? Calmly and resolutely looking the danger in
the face, she feels that she is able to protect herself in any emergency.
With 700 miles of freesoil border line, and having more cause of com¬
plaint than any other State in the Union, because her annual loss in
slave property is over $100,000. The theater of abolition emissaries,
robbed of her property; without threats, without excitement, with the full
responsibilities that devolve upon her in the present momentous crisis,
she will act with the dignity, moderation, and wisdom that becomes her.
Under the broad shield of the constitution, she will stand by the Union.
Ever true, ever loyal, she is ready to die, as she has lived, for that gov¬
ernment that protects her. She stands fortified by the history of the past
doubly intrenched in her impregnable position, and that is, to stand by
the compact of the constitution as our fathers made it—to stand by
the principle that each State should be the judge of, and regulate its
own domestic institutions, without interference. Asking nothing she
would not concede, she will keep her present status upon the slavery
question. She will keep the faith and stand by its settlement, the laws,
the constitution, and the courts. She will stand by the repeal of the
Missouri restriction. She will stand by the fugitive slave law, the
Dred Scott decision, the Democratic party, and its faithful Executive.
She believes that slavery is neither a moral, social, nor political evil.
Are the people in the free more moral than in the slave States ? Are
they socially more agreeable, more refined, more hospitable, or more
charitable ? Are they braver in battle, more obedient to the laws, or
more loyal to the government than we ? Is labor more profitable or
more respectable in the one than the other section ? Is it better fed,
better clothed, better cared for, more contented, or more happy ? Are
not the slave States prospering as well, and as well satisfied with their
domestic institutions ? All they want is their rights under the consti¬
tution and laws, to be left free to judge for themselves, and to be let alone.
They have heard this cry about the poor oppressed African, and in
looking back, even in our own day, at the history of the institution and
his race, we have seen him not a century ago brought here from Africa
a crooked, miserable, naked, starved, ill-shaped, chattering, half-reason¬
ing sort of link between the baboon and the white man, as wild nearly

as the beasts of the forest, and never was there such a change for the
better produced within the same length of time upon any people on
earth. We now behold him in the third generation finely formed,
straight, intelligent, moral, even contented, if left to the management
of his master, and probably happier than he; as a slave, an active, rate -
ligent, happy agent in doing good ; but the moment you set him rcc «
descends in the scale of civilization far more rapidly than he ascended,
and as such becomes a worthless, idle, lazy, besotted vagabond in a
very few years, so much so, that some of the free States, where there
seems to be so much sympathy for him, have passed strong laws to
prevent his becoming a resident. Differently raised as we are—with
a different education and associations from the people of the free
States, as moralists, as philanthropists, as Christians, looking to the
good of the black as well as the white race, we believe slavery is a good
institution, that as such it has been protected by the constitution. Under
that constitution we have lived heretofore in the enjoyment of our
property as equals, free, prosperous, and happy, and by that constitution,
resisting all new tests to political orthodoxy, Kentucky will stand unto
death.
Talk of Kentucky abolishing slavery! let the free States receive
no such encouragement. Since the recent developments at the North,
and the Harper’s Ferry affair, separated only from the States of 1 i-
nois, Indiana, and Ohio, by the Ohio river, she is more thoroughly
sound and united than ever. The sentiments and feeling of her people
and her love of the Union have been aroused into action. She will
stand by her sister States, both free and slave, in resistance to the
monstrous doctrines of the Republican party. At first this party denied
having any desire to interfere with slavery in the States. It was only
to exclude it from the territories, and from places over which they claimed
jurisdiction under their construction of the constitution; and when
they became respectable in numbers, they were emboldened to say they
would eventually abolish slavery everywhere by constitutional means ; they
would get both houses of Congress, the judiciary, the executive, and
change the constitution, when they had the power, so as to deprive us
of our slave property. After having been thrice beaten upon these
odious principles, we find them now declaring the government cannot
exist as part free and part slave—that its nature and compromises must
be changed or the Union dissolved. They have become impatient; and

their adherents for the catastrophe, their leaders fully informed of this
plot, if they did not plan it, are willing to do or to dare anything to
effect their purpose. Wiser and better than the patriots of the revo¬
lution, of purer piety than Dr. Clark, than Moses, the Apostles, and
even Christ himself, they must have an anti-slavery constitution, an
anti-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God. The old ones will not do
for these latter-day saints, patriots, and politicians ; the venerated old
books and doctrines, as promulgated by Christ, the law-givers, and the
Apostles, don’t suit their purposes, and they must inaugurate new sys¬
tems of government, new tenets of religion, and have an improvement
upon its author. The old ones are good enough for us. This new
party with its monstrous doctrines, the fruits of which have been
recently developed in the Kansas troubles in resistance to the laws,
and in the Harper’s Ferry affair, widely extended over the free States,
and through a portion of its venal presses, its fanatical lecturers, its
licentious preachers, its reckless Senators and Governors of States,
attempting openly to justify this last conspiracy, known as it was to
some of the most distinguished and wealthy men there, warns us of the
danger we are constantly exposed to. No matter how another portion
of this party may deny their complicity in this affair, there is no deny¬
ing their principles lead directly to such results, and for these results they
ought to be held responsible. Our slave property is threatened, our homes
are threatened, our lives, and the lives of our wives and children, are
threatened ; all the slave States are threatened ; the constitution and the
union are threatened; and reason and justice, common sense and'
prudence, teach us that we must adopt efficient measures of protection.
A common sense of danger must bring us to a common position of self
preservation.
These views are suggested by the peculiar circumstances by which
we are surrounded, and for your calm consideration in adopting some
measures of security at home. Self-preservation and the safety of the
republic demand renewed vigilance upon our part, whether the agents
and emissaries of the Republican party, and the enemies of the
union come among us as teachers, as peddlers, or as free negroes
from the free States! I would therefore recommend a heavier taxa¬
tion upon peddlers, a repeal of the laws allowing free negroes to come
within our borders from other States, and the enactment of a law im¬
posing a heavy penalty upon them for coming to the State, under any
pretense whatever. I further recommend a change of the laws allowing
38 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE. [Dec. 6.
slaves to hire their own time, and the passage of much more rigid laws
to correct this alarming evil. It would be well, too, to offer to each free
negro, who wished to leave the State, who had not the means, a suffi¬
cient sum of money to bear his expenses to his destination; when once
out, he could not return. This population is a great nuisance in
our State, and while the good and the industrious ought to be protected
and respected, I am not sure that it would not have been well to have
sold into slavery again those who were guilty of crimes ol a certain
description, and for misdemeanors, instead of the punishment now
provided by law—for drunkenness, immorality, laziness, and genera
misconduct, upon proof and conviction before a proper tribunal, it
might have been well to have hired them out for a year, or longer, for
the first offense, and for the second to have banished them from the
State, or sold them into slavery, the money raised in this way to be
transferred to the school fund. Better far would it have been, both lor
the black and the white man, than to permit him, an idler, a thief, a
drunkard, and a vicious vagabond, to have the name ol a freeman, an
to be left uninterrupted to associate with and to corrupt our elave
population. i
A thorough reorganization of the militia system of the common¬
wealth is also recommended. Under our laws upon the subject there
is no enrollment of the militia of the State, in consequence of which
we do not receive half the quota of arms from the government we are
annually entitled to. In case of insurrection, the enforcement of the
'laws by the executive, the suppression of mobs, or protection irom
internal or external danger, there is scarcely a single volunteer company
which could be called into service. The existing laws should be re¬
pealed ; volunteer companies should be formed in every county of the
State; regular drills should be required; an encampment ol several
days in each district should be annually appointed by law; the martial
spirit of our people should be revived, and a thorough re-organization
of the militia, connected with the volunteer system, should be effected.
Threatening dangers and a sense of security require it. The Harper’s
Ferry affair warns us that we know not at what moment we may have
need of an active, ardent, reliable, patriotic, well-disciplined, and thor¬
oughly organized militia in Kentucky. If this affair was not planned by
some of the most distinguished leaders and ministers of the Abolition and
Republican party, they had knowledge of it. It received their coun¬

against the slave States and the longer continuance of the Union. It
originated, not in philanthropy, but as a speculation in cotton, to make
large fortunes—to gratify the avarice .and the envy of some, and was
countenanced to gratify the ambition of others in obtaining place and
power. They were not willing to wait until they could effect their
purpose by constitutional and peaceful measures ; it was too slow and
uncertain. They were willing to do it by violence; to effect it in dis¬
regard of the constitution and the laws; to change this government
into mob outrage and desecration ; to plot rebellion and insurrection;
to shed the blood of the innocent; to commit arson; and to murder
and rob an unoffending and unsuspecting portion of the loyal citizens
of this country ; to commit treason and break up this glorious republic;
to let the end justify the means, and to do and to dare anything to
make money, and to get place and power. They had made money by
selling the African slave to the Southern planter, to whom his labor was
more profitable, and now they purpose to make restitution for the
wrong by freeing him in order to make money again, and to gain power
and place, which the people had denied them—even though it were at
the extinction of the white man and the ruin of the government. The
attempt failed; it failed because it originated in two false ideas— the
discontent of the slaves and the sympathy of the non-slaveholder of the slave
States. Never were laborers, if left to themselves, more contented and
happy than the slaves of the South; as a body, they would rather fight
for than against their masters; and none are truer and sounder on the
slave question than the non-slaveholders of the South. Revolting as
the effort was, we hope and believe that the honest and union-loving
masses of the North, and the Republican party, when they remember
the blessings they have enjoyed in this government, as part free and part
slave, and wish to transmit them unimpaired to their children, will see
the results of their principles, and refuse further to follow their leaders.
We will not yet despair of the republic ; we have faith in the public
virtue ; we believe yet there is power left among the Democracy of the
North, and the true men, and the union-loving men of the free States,
to rebuke this rebellion; to keep its sympathizers, aiders and abettors
out of power; to save the republic; but forewarned as we have been,
let us be on our guard, and be prepared for the worst.
We do not look to a dissolution of the Union as a remedy for the evils
of which we complain. Oh, no; this Union is hallowed by too many
associations which ought to be dear to every American heart. Its very

strength, consists in its seeming antagonistic interests. Its power is in
its apparent opposing forces. The commercial and the planting inter¬
ests, which were so difficult to reconcile by the convention that framed
the constitution, all flourish together. Agriculture, manufactures, com¬
merce and the arts, have become mutually dependent upon each other,
and should strengthen our social and friendly relations under our glori¬
ous system of government. The interests of the North and the South,
the East and the West, which seemed irreconcilable, have been so
happily adjusted, so beautifully balanced, and so powerfully harmon¬
ized in the constitution upon a principle, as to constitute the chief
strength of the republic—and that principle is, to permit the people of
each section of the Union to regulate their domestic and local institu¬
tions for themselves, giving to Congress the power, coupled with the
duty, to attend to our external relations and to regulate our national
affairs. Affection and confidence are the bonds of this Union. May
we do nothing to weaken, but everything to strengthen the ligaments
that bind us together as a nation, and may God still continue to pro¬
tect us as equals, as friends, as brethren, and as patriots in the Republic^
as it is, deeply devoted to its continuance; and may we and our pos¬
terity, as the worthy descendants of the gallant heroes of the revolu¬
tion, both now and in the future, stand by the compact of the constitu¬
tion formed by their wisdom and consecrated by their blood, as the
only hope of freemen.

Sir : As the details of the Geological Report of Kentucky cannot be
completed until the large amount of materials, collected during the past
two seasons, can be worked up in the office, and the maps and other
illustrations be prepared, I take this early opportunity ot submitting a
synopsis of the principal results of the survey, and giving a general
idea of what will be the contents of said report; showing, at the same
time, the value and importance of the work performed, and what
remains to be done to make the geological survey of Kentucky com¬
plete.
As introductory to these remarks, it will be proper for me to state

I was applied to by the Governor of Arkansas to make a geological
survey of that State.
In reply to the Governor's application, I intimated that I must de¬
cline, unless the work in Arkansas could be postponed until I had
completed my engagements in Kentucky. In order to avail myself of
my services as Geologist of Arkansas, the Governor of that State
agreed to such postponement.
At the expiration of the geological appropriation for the above
years, I addressed a letter to Governor C. S. Morehead, stating that I
had accepted the propositions made to me by the Governor of Arkan¬
sas, and that I should be obliged to resign my situation as Geologist of
Kentucky, unless it was considered for the interests of the geological
survey of that State that I should still continue to direct the surveys in
Kentucky. I farther remarked that the geological survey of Kentucky
was now so organized and systematized, my assistants were so efficient,
and the plans for the prosecution of the work so thoroughly matured,
that, without going into the field myself, I could direct the operations
of the geological corps of Kentucky, without in any way interfering
with my duties in Arkansas; that, of course, I should only charge the
State of Kentucky my per diem for the number of days actually em¬
ployed in giving the necessary instructions to the corps, collecting the
chemical specimens and forwarding them to Dr. Peter, in making out
reports, and keeping the accounts of the survey. By this means the
greater part of my former salary would be applied to the prosecution
of the geologico-topographical work, and thus hasten materially the
advancement of the undertaking.
The Legislature met, and the same statements were made by me to
the Committee on the Geological Survey. A new appropriation was
made for the years 1858 and 1859, and I was requested still to take the
direction of the survey of Kentucky, with the full understanding that
I had accepted an appointment in Arkansas.
This arrangement has, I believe, been so far favorable to the inter¬
ests of the Kentucky survey, that more force and means could be con¬
centrated on the topographical work, and greater progress made in
establishing the geographical basis on which the geological work was
obliged to be constructed, and without which no accurate results could
be obtained, inasmuch as the topography and geography of a coun¬
try must be iaid down before any minute detailed work in geology can
be located. In my former reports this has been fully explained.
Such, then, has been my position in the Kentucky survey, during the
last two seasons. Plow far I have succeeded in managing it, will be
seen by the results that will be submitted in the forthcoming report,
and by the synopsis which I now proceed to lay before you.
SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL RESULTS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF KEN¬
TUCKY, FOR THE YEARS 1858 AND 1859.
Since the completion of the geological reconnoissance of the State
of Kentucky and the commencement of the detailed work, I have, as
heretofore, concentrated the chief force of the various geological corps
on the coal and iron regions, considering, as I do, coal and iron as the
6

most valuable mineral products of any country; and it is hoped that
at the end of this season the materials now collected and recorded by
the different corps will be sufficiently complete to report not only the
area comprised in the coal-fields of Kentucky, but to define with accu¬
racy the outline of these coal-fields, and to lay it down with precision
on a map.
Topographical assistant Sidney S. Lyon has had charge of the.sur¬
vey of the western coal-field, while topographical assistant Jos. Lesley,
jr., has made the surveys of the eastern coal-field. Sidney S. Lyon
has also run the east and west base line. This has been the most
expensive part of the last two seasons’ operations, as it required addi¬
tional force to cut the line open, chain the distances, and run the course
with back and fore sights. He is now completing that great work,
which has served, and is to serve as the basis of the whole geographi¬
cal, topographical, and finally, the geological work.
It is expected to be completed from the Ohio river, where it com¬
mences at the mouth of Highland creek, in Union county, to the V ir-
ginia line, about the middle of this month.
This will be a grand object accomplished in the geography of the
State, and will tend not only to correct numerous errors in the geo¬
graphical position of important places in the State, but form the prin¬
cipal line wherefrom to commence, close, unite, and tie the local sur¬
veys of the different counties.
Without this line, the county surveys that are to radiate from it could
not be located by the geologist, nor any of his observations made at
the most important points be defined within many miles of the actual
locality, as can now be clearly demonstrated by a careful comparative
examination of the maps now constructed of Union county, Hopkins,
Greenup, &c., by the geological corps, already published.
As it has been my anxious desire to define, at the earliest date pos¬
sible, the boundary of the coal formation, the geologico-topographical
corps have mostly been engaged in running said base line, which
measured at the last accounts 278 miles and 917 feet, or 1,468,757 feet
long, and in meandering the exact confines of the two coal-fields, so
that comparatively little could be done, during the past seasons, in local
county surveys. These lines completed, as they will be, or nearly so,
this season, the geological corps will be enabled to progress rapidly
with the detailed surveys.
In the western coal-field, there now only remain to be surveyed in
detail Henderson, Daviess, McLean, Ohio, Butler, Muhlenburg, and a
small portion of Hancock. Since the east and west base line passes
through Henderson and Daviess, and the various lines run in meander¬
ing the outline of the west coal-field pass through Ohio, Butler, Muh¬
lenburg, and some of the adjacent counties, these lines will be just so
much work towards the future detailed surveys of these counties.
In the eastern coal-field, there remain to be surveyed in detail Law¬
rence, Powell, Rowan, Monroe, Johnson, Estill, Owen, Breathitt, Floyd,
Pike, Letcher, Perry, Rockcastle, Laurel, Clay, Harlan,Ivnox, Whitley,
W ayne, part of Carter and Pulaski, and N. E. part of Madison and
Bath.

Dec. 6.]
A great deal has, however, been done towards this work, in the
course of this season’s operations, by Jos. Lesley, jr., topographical
assistant, while he has been running and surveying the various lines
defining the eastern coal-field in Carter, Bath, Powell, Monroe, Estill,
Madison, Owen, Rockcastle, Laurel, Pulaski, and Wayne, d he com¬
pletion of the surveys in these counties is the next most important
work to be taken up by the geological corps of Kentucky.
M. Leo Lesquereux has been chiefly engaged in the palmontological
department of the survey, defining the geological horizon of the numer¬
ous coal-beds, drawing comparisons and identifying these beds of coal,
so as to determine not only the exact number of beds in the coal-
measures, the area which each occupies, the variation in thickness of
the same beds in difierent sections of the coal-field, but likewise in
estimating the relative richness of the Kentucky coal-field, compared
with that of Pennsylvania and other States.
M. Leo Lesquereux’s report of the two last seasons is.now completed
and in my possession. 1 consider it by far the most practically useful
geological report on this subject which has ever appeared, not only in
the United States, but in any part of Europe.
In Pennsylvania, the geologists have distinguished two principal
divisions of their coal-field, the productive and the barren coal-meas¬
ures; the latter lying within 300 to 500 feet below the Pittsburg
coal. I doubt the propriety of any such division applied to the corres¬
ponding portion of the coal-measures of Kentucky, since we have
comprised within this geological space six coals ; three to five of which
are locally workable, and one of these, No. 9 of our section, is one of
the most reliable and extensively worked coals in the whole coal-meas¬
ures. t
In my report I shall give my views on this subject, and present what
I consider the most natural and practically useful classification of our
coal-measures. I consider that the amount of information already
presented in the previous Kentucky reports, together with the forth¬
coming report of M. Leo Lesquereux, now in manuscript, will form
standard matter for reference on all subjects pertaining to the coal-
measures.
The fact, I believe, can now be fully demonstrated, that, except in
the anthracite regions, where the Pennyslvania coals acquire great
thickness, Kentucky possesses the richest coal-measures of any State
of which we have, at present, any precise geological data for compari¬
son, as will be shown in the forthcoming volume.
The chemical work has been carried forward by Dr. Robert Peter,
chemical assistant to the survey, with his accustomed vigor, industry,
perseverance, and systematic economy of time, and together with his
results already published in volumes 2 and 3, his chemical report, in
process of preparation, will comprise a vast fund of information ; his
analyses, already before the public, are now the wonder of analytical
chemists, both in this country and abroad.
He has already, for his present report, completed about 528 analyses,
165 of which are soil-analyses, including specimens from 55 counties.
The numerous systematic soil-analyses already recorded in the pre-
44
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Dec. 6.
Dec. 6.]
vious volumes, together with those preparing now' for publication, will,
undoubtedly, not only be of immense benefit to the agricultural inter¬
ests of Kentucky, but it wdll be one of the most important contribu¬
tions to agricultural chemistry which has ever appeared.
The varied comparative chemical analyses of ores, fluxes, slags, and
pig iron, must prove of great value to the iron-making interests of the
country, and, next to Karsten & Mushet’s Work on iron, furnishes, per¬
haps, as valuable information on the manufacture of iron as can be
found in any publication on this branch of knowledge. Chemical an¬
alyses of 223 specimens, connected with this important trade, in addi¬
tion to those already on record in the previous volumes, are ready for
publication.
Though the survey of Kentucky has now accomplished most import¬
ant and valuable objects, contributing data for the defining of her two
coal-fields, and forming a net-work of topographical and geographical
lines on W'hich to construct an accurate map, both geologically and
geographically, of the features of the State, yet there remains much to
be filled out in detail before the great ulterior object of the geological
survey can be considered completed, viz: an accurate geological map
of the State. In a country like Kentucky, v'here the geologist had no
land sections to guide him for locations, he has been thrown on his own
resources for reliable geographical information; and the accomplish¬
ment of this work, not strictly nor usually within the sphere of the
geologist, has been the most laborious and by far the most expensive
part of the survey.
If the work now accomplished in these various departments of the
survey be now followed up and supported by liberal appropriations,
Kentucky can have, at the close of the survey, both accurate geography
and geology; but not otherwise, since these must proceed simultane¬
ously. The more liberal the appropriation, the more rapidly can the
survey progress.
With an appropriation of $12,000 per annum, two years would now,
probably, suffice to fill up all the deficient local county details within
the limits of the western coal-field, and a continuation of the topo-
graphico-geological surveys in the eastern coal-field, extending over
four to six counties; and two to three more years would, I think, suffice
to complete the surveys within the margin of this eastern coal-field,
which has a much greater area than the west, and is exceedingly
mountainous and difficult of access.
It would require, then, comparatively less time to extend the surveys
beyond the coal formations, so as to define the limits of the sub-car¬
boniferous, devonian, and Silurian rocks; but it cannot be expected that
the geology of a State, comprising 40,000 square miles, and embracing
upwards of 100 counties, can be surveyed in a few years, when the
geography of that State has first to be laid down.
The operations of the last two seasons have been much cramped on
account of a provision of the law making the geological appropriation
for 1858 arid 1859, requiring that all outstanding bills for publication
of the 2d and 3d volumes should be paid out of it; this has consumed
no less than $7,529 19 of the fund, the binding bill alone being $4,000.

The geological corps has thus been left with inadequate means to
pay the expenses of a thorough report on the materials now collected.
If that fund could be restored, it would suffice to pay the members of
the corps for making out their respective reports, draughts, sections,
diagrams, maps, and other illustrations, and go a considerable way to¬
wards paying the expenses of the publication of the 4th volume. The
report will be so voluminous that it will probably be necessary to make
a separate volume of the chemical report of Dr. Robert Peter. A
great saving could be effected in the next publication, by binding the
greater part of the edition of the volume or volumes, as the case may
be, about to be issued, with a neat printed paper cover, something
after the manner of the first Arkansas report, which J send for your
inspection, since it only costs between a filth and a tenth of binding in
cloth. A small part of the edition, for special distribution, might be
bound, some in cloth, some in half Turkey, and some full bound in
Turkey or morocco. In an edition of 5,000 copies, even if in twm vol¬
umes, $800 to $1,200 should suffice, by proper management, for the
binding, whereas, if bound in cloth, like the former reports, $4,000
would hardly suffice. If the paper cover v r ere adopted, each member
could have his copies either with this paper cover, or order them spe¬
cially bound to suit his taste.
In consequence of the absence of Sidney S. Lyon in the field, I have
not been able to obtain a summary from him of his work; but, as a
substitute, I have collected sufficient from his various communications
to me from camp, informing me of the progress of the work, to give an
outline of his surveys during the past two seasons, which I now sub¬
join.
Summaries will be also found appended, received from Jos. Lesley,
jr., topographical assistant in charge of the eastern division of the
State; from Dr. Robert Peter, chemical assistant, and from M. Leo
Lesquereux, palaeontological assistant, wdiich, together, will afford a
succinct view of the whole operations of the geological corps, and will
convey a correct idea of the substance of their respective reports, in
process of preparation.

regular engineering level, for the purpose of establishing a thorough
and accurate basis upon which to build up any future surveys which
the State or any of the counties might wish to make.

The whole.of this work has produced a line, having numerous on¬
sets to coal-banks and other important points, which 1 have styled in
mv report the “ Out-crop base line of the Eastern Coal-field, which s
now being plotted upon a large scale, to be reduced for publication,
should appropriations be made for that purpose at the coming meet¬
ing of the Legislature. .
This out-crop base line starts at Grayson, Carter county, and runs in
a zig-zag form southwestwardly, along the out-crop ot the eastern
coal”and iron field, through the counties of Carter, Rowan, Morgan,
Bath Montgomery,Powell, Estill, Owsley, Jackson, Rockcastle, I ulaski,
Wayne, and Clinton, to the Tennessee State line, at a point about six
miles to the southeast of Albany C. H. .
During the examination of this line such specimens of coals, iron
ores, and other minerals, along with samples of the soils, were made
as was deemed necessary, and the result was the collection of nearly
100 specimens, which, from time to time, were forwarded to Dr. Robert
Peter for analysis. The majority, however, of these specimens, were
collected at too late a day to be reported upon this season, but are in
the laboratory ready for analysis, should the survey be continued
Great pains were taken with this out-crop base line to form a tixec
and thorough basis for any future surveys to be made across the great

extensive working of the minerals ; that, also, these hills present unu¬
sual advantages as sheep-walks, and from the luxuriant growth of the
native wild grape, give promise of improvement in that direction; also,

the dip of the rocks, in order to work up in detail the different beds of
coal and iron ore, and whatever other minerals there might be.

SUMMARY.
Since the commencement of the work this spring, the base line has
been run through Breckinridge, Hardin, Nelson, Washington, Mercer,
Garrard, Jessamine, and back again into Garrard county, four miles
from the Madison line.
The base line crosses the Buck Fork of Salt river several times. As
these crosses were made during times of flood, at points distant from
any ferry or boats, the crossings had to be effected either by swimming
or rafting.
Full notes of the topography and geology of the country have been
taken along the line, and a complete suite of barometrical observations.
The base line is now, 11th July, 1858, at the 4th crossing of the
Kentucky on the 185th mile. Since we commenced in the spring, 113
miles have been run.
At the close of the field-work in 1858, the base line lacked 14 or 15
miles of reaching the Virginia line, in the opinion of the best inform-

ed inhabitants of the country. The existing map of the State, by Miln
& Bruder, gives a very incorrect idea of where this due cast and
west line actually runs. For instance, the line of lulls between 1 ow¬
ed and Estill is represented on the Miln & Bruder map as running,
with very nearly a uniform slight curve, at first north and southwest,
then very nearly east «and west; whereas, in reality, it has bends and
flexures of three or four miles in length, deviating both to the north
and south. , , P _
The base line, as now established, runs one quarter of a mile noithoi
Ilardinsburg, in Breckinridge county; two miles north of Boston, in
Nelson county, and passes through the spring property at Iiarrodsburg,
and along the north side of Richmond. It crosses the Licking at Lick¬
ing Station, runs up the Rocky Fork of Burning Spring Fork of Lick¬
ing. On this part of the line, even the new Miln & Bruder map of
Kentucky is entirely at fault. The line enters Floyd at the crossing
of the Licking, but soon crosses due east into Johnson, alter which it
crosses many of the branches of Genny’s creek, in that county, and
intersects Big Sandy at the mouth of Little Paint creek, near the cor¬
ner of Johnson and Floyd counties. In running this east and west
base line this season, the Beech Fork of Salt river was crossed eleven
times by swimming .and rafting. It crosses the Kentucky river seven
times, and most of these crossings were made in the same way.
At one of these crossings of the Kentucky river, S. b Lyon encoun¬
tered the same fault described by me in the Kentucky Report, 3d vol.,
page 75, which I found a few hundred yards south of the Kentucky
river, in Garrard county, not far from the turnpike road leading from
Nicholasville to Bryantsville, and only a mile or so below the mouth
of Big Hickman creek. .
On the north side of this fault, the sections on the Kentucky river ex¬
pose upwards of 170 feet of bird’s-eye Kentucky river marble ; whereas,
on the south side of the Kentucky river, on the other side ol this fault,
the orthis testudinaria beds, which lie some 250 or 300 feet above the
top of the bird’s-eye Kentucky river marble, have abruptly subsided
nearly on a level with the coralline limestone, one of the lower mem¬
bers of the Kentucky river marble series, which shows a remarkable
disturbance along this line of fault. . . e
S. S. Lyon found along the line of his surveys that the best lands of
Garrard, Jessamine, and Madison counties always corresponded to the
zone of the Silurian rocks. East of the Kentucky river, in Mercer
and Washington counties, where the Kentucky river bird’s-eye lime¬
stone forms the basis of the country, the lands are not so good. 1 he
black Devonian slate was found to thin out gradually towards the
southeast, in Nelson county. S. S. Lyon found it only from 02 to 58
feet thick. The subordinate falls limestones of Devonian date were
only found in very circumscribed detached areas. At one locality the
yellow magnesian limestone (of upper silurian date?) was observed
close under the black slate. .
The base line crossed the Kentucky river for the last time, from the
top of a high cliff of black slate, 180 feet high. Two miles beyond

foui 1 streams, in the cuts of two of which the black slate was exposed ■
and in tu o others not only the black slate, but the underlying Silurian
rocks, are visible. In the deep ravines beyond, the sub-carboniferous
knobstone alone is exposed.
As the base line approaches the Estill furnace, the great sandstone
°f the millstone grit is encountered. Here the line crosses hills 300
to 500 feet in height, descending into numberless deep valleys, drains
gullies, and creeks, with frequently abrupt vertical escarpments of rocks
interrupting the line, and forming one of the most difficult countries to
survey that has yet been encountered during the geological survey of
Kentucky. The base line cleared this difficult country on Swift’s camn
creek. 1
I his great sandstone formation alone is sometimes 240 to 275 feet
from the top to its base. The lower beds are in some places composed
of loose coarse sand and pebbles; at other localities it is a hard sand¬
stone, dashed only with pebbles on the exposed surface. The upper
part is generally a course sandstone, running upwards into thin soft
flagstones of finer grain than the underlying rock; under this whole
mass is local 1} to be found a hard quartzose sandstone, with impressions
ot fossil plants ; this rests either on gray sandy shales, aluminous
shales, or fire-clay, from 2 to 30 feet thick; and under this is a bed of
coal which varies from a few inches to two feet in thickness. Beneath
the fire-clay of this coal is the place of the extensive ore-beds of Estill
path, and other adjacent counties. This ore-bed usually rests on and
is in intimate connection with, the upper and often irregularly denuded
surface of the sub-carboniferous limestones. A thin layer of clay at
some localities separates the ore from the limestone.
hen in the field last October, S. S. Lyon, in his communications to
doubted the equivalency of this great sandstone to the millstone
grit and true conglomerate at the base of the coal measures, chiefly
trom the existence, locally, of a workable bed of coal, and on account
t its gieat thickness; but the fact is now fully established that, local-
} , there is a good workable coal under the principal mass of the
conglomerate, and often not far above the upper members of the sub-
limestone ; and it will be seen, by direct evidence in the
repoit of Mr. Leo Lesquereux, about to be published, that it is no
uncommon thing to find the sandstones and conglomerates under our

partially by a fourth line. From Litchfield, a line was run by Casey-
ville and Welch’s creek to Morgantown, in Butler county ; thence up
’the valley of Renfro’s creek to the margin of the coal-fields; thence
northwardly, crossing Big Muddy, to the divide between it and Mud
river; thence to the margin of the coal formation near the out-crop of
the Big Muddy coal; thence to the Greenville road towards Russellville,
and with this road to the intersection of the Elkton and Mud river road,
ten miles from Greenville; thence towards Elkton and the Narrows,
running four miles beyond them to the White Plains road; with this, a
few miles ; then with a road more north, to a mill on Mud river, inter¬
secting again the edge of the coal-measures; thence to White Plains
and the edge of the millstone grit at Hopkinsville, thus closing with
the former surveys in Hopkins and Muhlenburg counties.
The returning line, starting from Joseph Harris’, surveys on Pond
river at Clark’s mill to Greenville; thence southwest to the intersec¬
tion of the line op the Mud river and Elkton road; thence to the inter¬
section of the line on the divide .between Mud and Big Muddy rivers;
thence to Morgantown and Rochester roads, closing again at Morgan¬
town ; thence to Woodberry, crossing the mouth of Big Barren river
into Warren county; thence by the most direct road to Brownsville, in
Edmonson county, again closing; thence to the Mammoth Cave;
thence to Millerstown, and again closing; thence to Afton’s, closing
again on the railroad.
During this survey, from seven and one-half to seventeen and one-
half miles were run daily.
Along the line of surveys on the eastern margin of the western coal¬
field, the coal-beds are comparatively thin; and only two beds visible,
sometimes only one.
A fine bed of ore was traced through the southeast corner of Breck¬
inridge, west part of Grayson and Butler counties. In part of Grayson
and Butler, two beds of good limonite iron ore were discovered. To
the north and east these ores are generally best and thickest, gradually
becoming thinner and more sandy to the southwest, where they are
hardly workable. In Ohio county, the lower of these beds is reported
from four to five feet thick.
Three beds of limestone are also reported, separated by sandstone.
A disturbance and fault are reported, running from Clifty creek, near
Baker’s mill, and thence to Pond creek.
Five miles from Greenville, in Muhlenburg county, beds of millstone
grit are brought up. In the valley of Renfro’s creek, a sinclinal fold
brings in two beds of coal, one of which, (under limestone,) one mile
from Morgantown, has been opened and found to be four feet thick.
Dear Sir: According to your request, I herewith submit a synopsis
of my forthcoming report, which will give a general outline of the
Work in the Botanico-Palseontological department of the survey in¬
trusted to my direction.
M. LEO LESQUEREUX,
Palaeontological Assistant.
I have condensed into this synopsis the part of the Geological Sur¬
vey of Kentucky made by me under your directions, and comprising
one hundred and fifty pages, which will make about one hundred
pages of printing.
It is divided into three parts: _
The first part contains a palmo ntologieal, stratigraplncal, and litho¬
logical description of the coal strata generally formed in the coal fields
of Kentucky, at least of all those which have been found to present
some chance of a sufficient thickness for working.
The palm ontological characters of the coal strata, from the lowest
coal beds below the conglomerate to the fourth coal below the Maho¬
ning sandstone, are established on reliable data, and in such a man¬
ner that a few plates of fossil plants will enable any one to understand
them, and to make use of them for the identification ol any coal com¬
prised in that space. The number of coal strata thus.characterized by
fossil plants in Kentucky, arc seven workable beds. In the eastern
coal fields of Kentucky the bed of coal No. 4, below the Mahoning
sandstone, seems to be deficient, or very thin ; at least, it has not been
found in any place of a workable thickness. But the bed of coal below
it, our No. 3, is well developed at some places, and generally cannel
coal of the very best quality.
As the p al sc o n tologie al character may at first be somewhat obscuie
for those wdio are not acquainted with fossil plants, or for such locali¬
ties where they arc not found, I have endeavored to fix the position ol
each coal seam, not only by palaeontology, but by stratigraphic al and
lithological characters, illustrating and proving their level or geologi¬
cal horizon by numerous local sections. This part of the report con¬
tains twenty-five sections.
No very important addition has been made to the facts already
published of the coals above the Mahoning sandstone, and between it
and tug Anvil Rock. The palaeontological characters, enumerated in
vol. 3d of the report, remain without much need of alteration or modi¬
fication. But the stratigraphic al and lithological characters have been
revised again, and exemplified by sections. The number of coal strata
in this section are eight.
The second part of the report shows the place of each coal bank or
coal opening, either exposed in a natural out-crop or worked, which
has come within the range of my observation. To facilitate the under¬
standing of the position of each coal bed, I have first given a general
section of each county examined, or of some counties taken altogether,
when the general distribution of the coal was the same; and thus
referred each coal bank to the place which it occupies in the section.
This examination is the most practical manner of indicating the posi¬
tion of the coal strata, since it enables each proprietor not only to sec
the true position of the bed of coal which may have been discovered
on his property, but to ascertain at what distance either above or
below this coal bed he may have a chance of finding another. The
counties thus examined are the twelve which, by position, and by
mineral riches, offer the greatest advantage for the exportation of the

coal on a large scale. About eight hundred coal banks, either opened
or cropping out, have been examined, and their place marked in this
part of the local section of the report.
The third section of the report contains a short comparison of the
distribution, geologically and geographically, of the coal strata in
Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. This comparison is of high sci¬
entific interest, as it fixes the general distribution of the coal strata in
the whole extent of the coal basins of the United States, and cannot
but give to the geological reports of Kentucky a great value as con¬
taining the key of the general distribution of the coal. Henceforth
all the reports treating ot the distribution of coal strata will naturally
take their guide and standard of comparison from the sections in the
Kentucky coal fields.
The sections made for comparative distribution of coals are all
perfectly reliable, since they are either unequivocal plane sections,
presented in one and the same side of a single hill, or from well
authenticated sections of other well-informed geologists. On the
whole, this report on the distribution of the coal in Kentucky, with my
report of the 3d vol., will give, 1 think, a true and accurate account of
the Kentucky coal-fields, or rather a condensed history of this forma¬
tion and of their general distribution. Thus, the report of 1858 and
1859, when published, will form a sequel to my former report of 1850
and 1857, and, in fact, the two, to be well understood and applicable,
ought to be read in connection. Hereafter, if there is a new appro-
piiation for a continuance of the Geological Survey of Kentucky, some
further detailed facts can be elicited in regard to the place of the coal
banks in counties not yet explored, and important data added to this
leport. But for the counties now thoroughly explored, but little
remains to be done. It would be of great value to have the report
accompanied by a few plates, say four to six. In that case the Ken-
tucky geological report would by far surpass the Pennsylvania Geolog¬
ical leport in description and illustration of the coal measures. Any
one that has time to read the Pennsylvania Geological report of H. D.
Rogers will soon be convinced of the correctness of this assertion. In
I ennsylvania I had to work under great disadvantages, and for the
most part entirely in the dark, and frequently in opposition to the opin-
10,10 ^tate Geologist, who often denied the equivalency of coals
which I identified on paleontological grounds; some of which were
afterwards proved to be one and the same beds by extension of levels
run through to the two localities. In Pennsylvania 1 had no key as a
<- ue to guide me in my researches, which I had either to confirm or
reiutc by subsequent observations; whereas, in Kentucky, I had, from
ihc beginning, an approximate section of the coals as they wore sup-
posed to exist from stratigraphical observations in connection with
partial levels taken with the pocket instrument, at favorable localities,
and i was directed to correct according to my view the order of super¬
position and equivalency if wrong, and retain it if right. The com¬
paratively undisturbed and nearly horizontal condition of the coal-
measures of Kentucky over the greater part of the area of her coal-
eids also aflorded great facilities for my investigations.

Dear Sir: I herewith submit .ummmr. of llto clretnioal work to l>o
repo,-. 01 , in the 4* or Mh volume ol the report, for
Chemical Assistant, Laboratory at Lexington, Ky.
SUMMARY.
I find in summing up that I have completed about 528 analyses since
the beginning of the year 1858, as follows.
165 specimens of soil.
71 specimens of limonite iron ores.
26 specimens of carbonate of iron.
31 specimens of pig iron.
22 specimens of iron furnace slags.
36 specimens of coals. .. .. „ .
73 specimens of limestones, including 13 hydraulic limestones.
18 specimens of marls, clays, and shales.
14 specimens of sandstones.
22 specimens of mineral waters. , , . ..
7 specimens of native wine, ashes of Indian com, cob, wheat, &c.
30 specimens of ashes of tobacco from various parts.
13 specimens of miscellanea, including mastadon bones, teeth, tec.

'These are from fifty-five counties in Kentucky and some fevv of the
soils from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, W isconsm, and Minnesota, foi com-
Pa Of°the unfinished report, more than two hundred foolscap pages are
already written, and it is only brought down in the alphabetical list of
the counties as far as Lyon county. A portion, say % P^ oi
the first part, is to be re-written, m order, by tabulation of the suite
of soils, ores, tec., from the same locality to reduce the bulk of it as
much as possible, a plan which I have adopted m the latter portion.
This chemical report will alone make a volume of two hundied or
three hundred pages octavo.
By great exertions, I have succeeded in analyzing all that has been
sent to the laboratory, except an interesting collection of ores, slags,
pi«- iron, tec., sent by the kindness of the proprietors, from steam fu
naces, Estill county; and a number of soils, ores, &c„ of them-ece
collection of Messrs. Jos. Lesley, jr., and S. & Lyon,from the southern
and eastern portions of the State, which will be retained in hopes ol
the appropriation of further means for carrying on the survey.
The soils examined are of great variety, and from various portion
of the State, and their analysis generally exhibit a deterioration in 1
cultivated soil, compared with the virgin soil of the same locality,
greater even than can be attributed to the essential mineral element*
which may have been taken oil’ in the crops produced on it lUustra -
iim the observations made by European agricultural chemists and piac
tical men, that the soil loses strength, when only exposed to the atmos¬
pheric agencies, if any considerable part of its surface is kept h

been exhausted by the continued c dtivation of tobacco, as well as the
virgin soil from the same locality, an effort being made by the analy¬
sis of them, and of the ashes of thirty specimens of tobacco, to find
out the cause of the exhaustion of the soil by this crop, as well as the
remedy for it. .How far it has been successful may be seen in the
report.
It is believed, that in no part of the world has so much time and
continuous labor been devoted to the study of the soil; and notwith¬
standing the doubts of those who made occasional analyses of it, no¬
where have such valuable results to scientific agriculture been ob¬
tained in this relation. This study, the laboriousness of which has
deterred most practical chemists, geologists, .and observers from under¬
taking it, is just in its infancy, and can only yield beneficial, practical
results, after the completion of a great number of accurate analyses of
various soils, in different degrees of exhaustion, and under different
physical conditions. The difficulties of accurate soil analyses appear
so great to some of our oldest and most experienced chemists, that it
is asserted that about a month of labor is requisite for one analysis,
and that only one, of this kind, can be carried on at one and the same
time! a statement which is very different from the experience of the
writer, who finds that his time cannot possibly be fully occupied unless
a number of analyses are going on, in various stages of progress, at
the same time.
The iron ores, pig iron, iron furnace slags, &c., examined, are many
of them from the iron furnaces of Crittenden, Trigg, Livingston, Lyon,
and Bath counties, &c. In view of the general belief of the injurious
influences of phosphorus on iron, making it brittle when cold, ( cold short ,)
search was always made for this element in the ore, limestone, &c.,
and in the iron produced; and, in one or two instances, in the cinder
or slag, with an interesting result.
It is the belief of the best modern authority in the manufacture of
iron, Karsten, that if any phosphoric acid exist in the ore, flux, or fuel, it
is certain to find its way into the iron in the smelting, and combine with
it in the form of reduced phosphorus; and that none of it could be
carried out of the furnace in the cinder or slag. As Karsten has gen¬
erally been copied by most writers on iron, even by Liebig in his Hand-
wortcrbuch, &c., it is somewhat singular to find some indefinite expres¬
sions of Overman, in his work on the manufacture of iron, which show
that he entertained a different opinion, and that his practical observa¬
tions had led him to the conclusion that aluminous materials in the ore
or flux would act to purify the iron, more or less, from this injurious
ingredient. This, if true, is a most valuable hint to the iron smelter,
especially as some of the iron ores of the southern part of our State
contain a considerable proportion of phosphoric acid.
In those slags which I have examined for phosphoric acid this idea
is corroborated ; a considerable amount of phosphoric acid was found in the
slag, especially in the presence of much alumina; and I am led to the belief
that the strong affinity which exists between phosphoric acid and
alumina may be employed to a great advantage in purifying our iron,
in smelting, from this injurious ingredient; just as an excess of lime
56 JOURNAL OF TIIE SENATE. [Dec. G.
may aid in the removal of sulphur; which injurious substance 1 also
found in the slag.
It is my belief, however, that there may be more phosphorus con¬
tained in iron, without materially injuring its toughness, than has gen¬
erally been admitted by the authority on this subject. i he processes
employed by them to estimate this substance not having been as deli¬
cate as those now employed, besides being very difficult, may cause
them to under estimate it. A new set of careful experiments in this
relation is required to settle this important question.
Amongst the coals examined was a cannel coal, giving 6,506 per cent,
volatile matters, from the tar kiln branch of Stinson’s creek, on the
Mt. Savage property, Carter county; lower part of the bed brought by
J. Lesley, jr., (what you sent from Stinson’s creek yielded nearly as
much;) said to be used at Ashland for the manufacture of oil, which
yielded me more crude oil on distillation than any I have examined, t
not even excepting the Breckinridge coal. One thousand grains gave
the following result, viz :
411. crude oil, thin, like that from Breckinridge coal.
367. porus coke.
182. gas (pretty good illuminating)—500 cubic inches.
40. ammoniacal water.
1000
The crude oil is equal to 822 lbs., or, say 100 gallons to the ton of
2,000 lbs. This is, doubtless, as great as is obtained from any coal in
the world. It is possible that this specimen may not be a fair average
of the whole seam. The Curlen cannel coal, Union county, was not
found to yield as much oil as was expected.
The true examination of our native wines was made to ascertain
their chemical peculiarities, and the influence of wine culture on the
soil. These wines, made from the juice of the catawba and lierbemont
grapes, resemble the Rhine wine in composition, more than any others,
but contain more acid than even these (and I believe some racemic
acid;) and the mineral material removed from the soil in the wine
alone, is found to be quite small in amount.
The investigation of the chemical composition of the ashes of tobacco,
corn, wheat, &c., were sufficiently extensive to throw some light on
their culture, &c., and the influence on the soil; and it is desirable that
more extensive chemical examination be made of the ashes of the
various products of our fields and gardens, in connection with the soil
analyses, that as much practical benefit to agriculture and horticulture
may be obtained as possible.
A number of the limestones analyzed were found to possess the com¬
position of hydraulic limestones. It is found that the presence ol a con¬
siderable proportion of magnesia, with silica in a finely divided condi¬
tion in the limestone, are favorable to the property of hardening under
water of the mortar made from it. It is believed also that the present,
although less in quantity that one per cent., may aid in causing the
formation of silicates more or less soluble, to the presence of which this
property seems mainly to be owing.

Permit me to communicate to your Excellency the information that
I have received in relation to the public arms issued to independent
uniform companies in the several counties of the State.
I am informed that a great many companies have disbanded, and
their arms, &c., are now scattered through the country in the hands of
individuals who are not recognized by law, nor accountable to the
State for either the safe-keeping or return to the arsenal when required.
I have notified the principals and securities on bond in several coun¬
ties, and very few of them have answered, and none of them have
returned their arms'; therefore I would suggest to your Excellency, and
the General Assembly, the need of a more stringent militia law in
regard to the public arms, &c., belonging to the Commonwealth.
I would also call your attention to a piece of brass- ordnance taken
in the late war with Mexico, and presented to the State of Kentucky
by Col. G. A. Caldwell; also, a brass piece taken at the battle of Cer-
ogordo, by Col. John S. Williams, and presented to the State.of Ken¬
tucky. These pieces are unmounted; and if they were properly
mounted, they would add greatly to the ordnance department.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Quarter-master General.

The question being then taken on the adoption of the resolutions
proposed by Mr. Grover, it was decided in the affirmative.
A bill to amend the 26th section of the Criminal Code of Practice,
Was then taken up.
Sundry amendments being proposed thereto,
Ordered, That the further consideration of said bill be postponed,

Ordered, That 1,000 copies of the same be printed.
[For Report—see Legislative Documents.']
On special leave, Mr. Alexander introduced a supplemental report,
which was laid before the Senate.
Said report reads as follows, viz:
To the General Assembly of thS Commonwealth of Kentucky:
The Trustees of the Kentucky Institution for the education of Deaf
Mutes, respectfully make a supplemental report.
During the year 1858 we purchased a lot of ground adjoining the \
premises of the institution, which we very much needed, for five hun¬
dred dollars, ($500). Our grounds immediately around our buildings
were, and still are, very much contracted. Early in the same year, we.
purchased thirty-seven and a half acres of land, lying at a convenient
distance, for one hundred and twenty-five dollars per acre, amounting
to the sum of four thousand six hundred and eighty-seven dollars and
fifty cents, ($4,687 50). This was a very fortunate purchase. We had
previously only about ten acres of ground. The number of our pupils
has so increased, being over a hundred for the whole year, that we.
were compelled to have additional ground for garden and pasturage.
The purchase of this ground has enabled us to enlarge our garden
to four acres; from which, by the labor of our own boys, we raise the
largest part of our vegetables. We have sufficient pasturage for our
cows for a large part of the year, and raise our own hay and a large
portion of our oats, and have fattened a part of our beef and mutton
on the grass. There is also an orchard on the ground purchased,
which we design to enlarge to supply ourselves abundantly with fruit.
It would hardly have been possible to sustain the institution longer
without additional grounds, and we could have made no other pur¬
chase of land in the neighborhood so convenient and suitable.
On this purchase, and for another lot purchased a few years ago,
we owe a debt, principal and interest, of over eighteen hundred dol¬
lars. We have now nearly fifty acres of land—the fencing upon a
large part of which is old and dilapidated. The largest part of that
immediately around our buildings is almost ready to fall.
The greatest want in the instruction of deaf mutes is a good book of
92
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Dec. 13.
Dec. 13.]
elementary lessons. We have an elementary work now in the press,
prepared by the Principal of the institution, which, we think, will sup¬
ply this desideratum, and enable our pupils to learn as much in the
first two years of their course, as they have heretofore done in three.
This work, in consequence of being illustrated by near five hundred
engravings, a very important and necessary aid to deaf mutes, will
cost about seventeen hundred dollars, ($1,700).
The cost of the land and lots purchased, and of the printing of this
book of elementary lessons, will be, in the whole, seven thousand two
hundred and eighty-seven dollars; all of which has been paid for
except about eight hundred dollars ($800) on the book, and eighteen
hundred dollars ($1,800) on the land—twenty-four hundred dollars
($2,400) in the whole.
Our new building is, in part, heated by steam, by Gold’s Heater, a
successful economical, and most comfortable mode of warming. But
it has been applied only to something more than one half of the house.
When finished, the whole house, of five stories, one hundred and six
feet in length, and sixty wide, will be warmed by one fire, consuming
only a cord of wood per day. The apparatus is simple, and requires
but little attention. Until finished, we have to heat a portion of the
house by grates, while the fire for the steam is sufficient for the whole
if the apparatus were extended. We are thus losing the fuel, sufficient
for the whole, for nearly one half the house.
The plumbing works are also unfinished, which supply the different
parts of the house with water, and carry oil’ the waste water. The
finishing of these would greatly add to the convenience and comfort
of the house.
We are anxious to use gas, in some forai, to light our two principal
buildings, both for convenience and economy. Gas works are now
applied to single buildings with success. An ample amount of light is
necessary for deaf mutes, who learn everything through the eye.
We have, in part, put up a servants’ house, which is unfinished, and
which we are unable to use.
We have only two cisterns, when we need six for a full supply of
water. For several weeks during the fall we were entirely destitute
of water, and were compelled to haul it for every purpose. Our three
old buildings need repainting badly, as well as other repairs. We
have four buildings, costing about sixty thousand dollars, and necessary
outbuildings, and the fencing of nearly fifty acres of land, to keep in
repair. The annual incidental expenditure for this purpose is very
Considerable. There are, in addition, unforeseen and unavoidable
contingencies. A heavy expense of this character fell upon us during
the last winter. In the latter part of February, a hurricane passed over
us, and removed the tin from the largest part of the roof of our new
edifice, the cost of replacing which was six hundred and twenty-seven
dollars, ($627.)
Our buildings are inadequately insured ; they cost, as stated above,
about sixty thousand dollars, and are insured for only twenty thousand,
our means not enabling us to exceed that amount.
Our new edifice has cost us thirty-nine thousand, six hundred and
fifty dolh

In view of these statements, we respectfully, but earnestly, ask of
the Legislature an appropriation of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the
following purposes, viz :
To pay the balance due on lunda purchased___ R00 00
To finish the heating and plumbing apparatus___ 2 500 00

For gas works, painting, repairs and improvements, and elementary work_ 3,700 00
$10,000^00
Our applications to the Legislature for special appropriations have
been comparatively few, and for small amounts; and we confidently
hope for a favorable response, believing that the institution under our
care, in the management of which we are but the servants of the
State, deserves your liberal support. W itliout a grant of the amount
here asked for, we cannot see how the wants of the institution are to
be provided tor, and its interests must severely suffer. For a detail of
its condition, we refer you to our stated report already made.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees.

Frankfort , December 13, 18594
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:
In my message heretofore delivered, I referred to a history of the
penitentiary from the time it went into operation, embracing all the
facts bearing upon the subject, as in course of preparation by Dr.
Sneed, a learned and scientific physician of Frankfort, long connected
with it, and familiar with its management, and recommended the pub¬
lication of the history for the information of your constituents.
Dr. Sneed has completed the work, and I now lay before you his
manuscript, together with a note addressed by him to the Speaker of
the Senate, and another to myself. I renew the recommendation upon
the subject heretofore made by me.
B. MAGOFFIN.

To the Hon. Thomas P. Porter,

Dear Sir: Allow me, through you, to present to the body over whom
you have the honor to preside, and to the General Assembly of Ken¬
tucky, the manuscript history of her penitentiary system, from its ori¬
gin to the present time. The favorable notice taken by the Governor,
fn his annual message, of the subject, renders it useless for me to add
more now than to say that it is at your service, to be printed with the
other public documents, at the expense of the State, for the benefit ot
the public. All I ask or claim for my labor is the copy-right, in case
another edition is called for by the public.
I have the honor to be, truly, your obedient servant,

Mr. Marshall presented the memorial of R. Id. Stanton, Esq., asking
the Legislature to purchase a sufficient number of copies of his edi¬
tion of the Revised Statutes, to supply the courts, officers of the State,
and others entitled to the statutes under the laws.
Said memorial was read, as follows, viz:
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:
The undersigned respectfully represents, that in view of the necessity
which existed for a new edition of the Revised Statutes, those of the
original edition now in use by the courts and officers of the State hav¬
ing, in most cases been worn out, or become imperfect, has prepared
and published a work containing the Revised Statutes as originally
enacted, the numerous amendments thereto, and all such general laws
as have been passed since the Revised Statutes went into operation.
Where the Court of Appeals has had occasion to adjudicate upon any
provisions of the Revised Statutes, or the general laws, copious notes
of its decisions have been given. The whole statutory system of the
commonwealth, with the construction which has been thus far given to
its provisions by the highest judicial tribunal in the State, is embodied
in a single work of two volumes. The judges of the Court of Appeals,
since its publication, have had the work in use, and after giving it a
thorough examination, approve and commend it. The typography of
the work is of the very best character, the binding substantial, and
the paper of the most superior quality.
The undersigned proposes to furnish the State with a sufficient num¬
ber of copies to supply the courts, officers, and others entitled by law
to the Statutes, at the very low price of six dollars per copy, of two
volumes, provided three thousand sets are required, or six dollars and
sixty-seven cents, if less than that number are taken.
He, therefore, respectfully asks that your honorable body may pass
•a law authorizing their purchase. R R g TANTO nf i
Ordered, That 150 copies of the same be printed for the use of the

tee of two on the part of the Senate, to visit the Kentucky Institute
for the Blind.
Which was adopted.
The Senate took up for consideration a joint resolution offered by

Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky , That
the committee on Banks of the Senate, in conjunction with such com¬
mittee as the House of Representatives shall appoint, be directed to
visit in person the Bank of Kentucky, and the Bank of Louisville, at

deem it necessary to visit the same, or any of them.
Which was adopted.
The Senate took up for consideration the joint resolutions offered by
Mr. Alexander on Saturday, viz:
1. Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
That we look with indignation and abhorrence upon the recent invasion
of the Commonwealth of Virginia ; that the clandestine and iniquitous
scheme, in its inception and execution, was an unhallowed assault
upon the peace and welfare of the whole country; that we deeply
sympathize with the people of Virginia in the trying scenes through
which they have been called, and proffer to them our countenance and
active support, if needed, in the maintenance of the laws of the land
and the public peace.
2. Resolved, That we here and now re-affirm our fealty to the consti¬
tution of the United States, and pledge ourselves faithfully and unre- '
servedly to carry out all of its requirements; and that we will look
with distrust toward that State which refuses to perform these high and
solemn obligations, whether in the north, by refusing to carry out the
provisions of the fugitive slave law, or in the south, by reviving and
carrying on the odious African slave trade.
3. Resolved, That we will discountenance everything tending to pro¬
duce alienation of feeling between the north and the south. That the
unchangeable union of these States is indispensable to the prosperity
and glory of each and all, and even to our continued existence as a
civilized and enlightened nation; and to a preservation of this union
in its integrity and fairness, we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and
sacred honor.
4. Resolved, That we look with admiration and approval at the late
union demonstrations in the north, and promise our union-loving
friends of that section our hearty co-operation in quelling sectional
strife, and restoring fraternal feelings in the different sections of the
confederacy. We are for equality of the States, the supremacy of the
constitution, the execution of the laws, and the preservation of the
union. We ask nothing more than we are willing to award to others.

and fifty dollars per annum, or so much thereof as may be actually nec¬
essary, payable semi-annually in advance ; and whereas, said bill was,
by mistake, enrolled so as to show that only twenty-five thousand two

whole of said appropriation is needed for the support of said Asylum;

Whereupon Mr. Prall, from said committee, made the following
report, viz: .
The committee on Federal Relations have considered the subjects
referred to them, and recommend the adoption of the following reso¬
lutions:
1 . Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
That the occasion demands of Kentucky that she should meet the
grave questions that press themselves upon her with a calm and tem¬
perate moderation, but with an inflexible firmness befitting the vast
and lasting interests involved in their solution. A member of a great
confederation of States, she has ever been true and faithful to the
national compact. Regarding the Union as associated with her
choicest historic memories,and her most cherished hopes, she will sus¬
tain the General Government with all her resources, and at every haz¬
ard, in the rightful exertion of all its appropriate and limited powers.
That Government is based, as the fundamental and distinctive feature
of its organization, upon the broad principle of equality of political
rights among the several States, and the absolute sovereignty of each
in the exercise of all the powers not specifically granted in the Fed¬
eral Constitution; and whenever it shall transcend the just limitation
of its authority, and encroach upon,the reserved rights of the States,
it will have been perverted from the true purpose of its creation, and
become the potent instrument of oppression and wrong.
2- That the Territories are the common property of the Union, and
as a field for the expansion of the institutions and the development of
20
154
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Dec. 22.
Dec. 22.
the energies of an advancing and progressive people, are open to the
citizens of all the States; and that there exists no power in the Gen¬
eral Government, or the Government of a Territory, during its contin¬
uance as such, and until having attained sufficient population it shall
have formed a constitution and been admitted into the Union, to impair
the right of any citizen migrating thereto in the ownership and enjoy¬
ment of any species of property which may be recognized by the laws |
of any one of the States; but that this right, having been solemnly
affirmed by the decision of our highest judicial tribunal, should be
guarded by suitable laws faithfully administered; and if in any case a
Territorial Government should assail, that right by unfriendly legisla¬
tion, or experience should show that existing laws are inadequate for
its protection, it will then be the duty of the General Government, in
the exercise of its powers—legislative, judicial, and executive—each
acting within its appropriate sphere, to provide such security and pro¬
tection as the exigencies of the occasion may demand.
3. That we approve of the legislation of Congress in the repeal of
the Missouri Restriction; and that we indorse, and will sustain, the
doctrines enunciated in the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the Dred Scott case, as .embodying a true exposition of the
Constitution in relation to the subject of slavery in the Territories.
4. That we have observed with deep concern the mad and aggres¬
sive spirit which has characterized the assaults of a large portion of
the citizens of the Northern States upon the domestic institutions which
Kentucky, in common with her sisters of the South, has permanently
adopted, and to which she will inflexibly adhere. Extensive and trea¬
sonable combinations have been formed throughout the North, having
in view, as their avowed purpose, the subversion of our laws and the
destruction of the tenure by which we hold our property. Incendiary
appeals have been made to our slaves to rise in rebellion against their
masters; and obstacles have been interposed by the laws of some of
the Northern States, and with the countenance and co-operation of
men in high positions, to prevent the reclamation by their rightful j
owners of fugitives from service. Every form of attack, whether open
or covert, which fanaticism could stimulate or ingenuity devise, has
been made upon our rights, in relation to subjects peculiarly our own, ^
and with a pertinacity and zeal which seem ready to overleap every
constitutional barrier, and violate every obligation of confederate faith.
In such a crisis, Kentucky, loyal and devoted as she has ever been to
the national Union, and clinging to the hope, strengthened by recent
indications, that a conservative sentiment may yet prevail in the
North, which shall arrest the dangers that seem impending, neverthe¬
less deems it just to herself and to those with whom she is associated
in interests, to announce in most emphatic terms that she stands ready
to repel to the last every encroachment, from whatever source it may
come, upon her rights, her institutions, and her honor.

while we would not violate the good faith which has uniformly char¬
acterized our intercourse with other nations, we would be false to our¬

JOHN A. PR ALL, Chairman.
Ordered , That the foregoing resolutions be made the special order
of the day for the Gth of January next, at 11 o’clock, A. M., and that
the Public Printer print 150 copies thereof for the use of the General
Assembly.
On motion—
The following joint resolutions, offered by Mr. Rust on Monday last,
were taken up, viz:
Whereas, In the present critical position of public affairs, when the
rights of a portion of the States of the Union are threatened, and the
constitution itself menaced, by a powerful sectional organization, it
becomes the solemn duty of the. people of Kentucky, as citizens of one
of the States whose rights are in peril, to declare their opinions freely
and unequivocally on the grave questions out of which have grown the
dangers that impend over them—therefore,
1 . Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky ,
That the Territories of the United States, being the common property
of the people of all the States, and held in trust by the General gov¬
ernment for their use and benefit, we hold that Congress has no power
under the constitution to abolish African slavery therefrom, or to pro¬
hibit the introduction of African slaves therein; nor have the inhabit¬
ants of the Territories any such power during their territorial condi¬
tion ; but the right of the people to emigrate to the Territories, taking

Whereupon, Mr. Alexander moved the following resolutions, which
were read, viz:
Resolved, That a committee of one from each circuit court judicial
district be appointed by the presiding officer of this body, for the pur¬
pose of investigating the condition and efficiency of the judicial sys¬
tem of this Commonwealth.
Resolved, That said committee be instructed to make the following
inquiries of the several persons hereinafter named, and request of
them written responses thereto, together with such other inquiries as
to them may seem proper.
To the several Judges of the Court of Appeals: *
1. What portion and how much of your time, during the year, is
occupied in the discharge of your official duties ?
2. Is your salary sufficiently remunerative ?
3. What are your expenses per year, necessarilyuncurred on account
of your official position ?
4. What changes in the law in regard to the court of appeals would
you suggest?
To the Judges of the Circuit Courts:
1. What portion and how much of your time is required in the ac¬
tual holding of court?
2. How many called terms have you held within two years previous
to the 1st of January, I860 ?
3. Is your time sufficient to keep up with the docket at each court?
If not, in what counties, and what changes would you recommend to
effeep this purpose ?
4. Would your district furnish work for a chancellor, in addition to
the present judge?
5. Does your salary remunerate you for the labor required of you?
6. What are your annual expenses, necessarily incurred on account
of your official position ?
To the several Circuit Judges and Attorneys for the Commonwealth:
1. Is our system of criminal law sufficient for the wants of the
State? If not, in what is it defective?
2. What defect is there in the present mode of summoning juries,
grand and petit?
3. Should the grand jury be required to keep secret whatever may
be said or done in their sittings, and after adjournment for a given
space of time, say until the next term of the court, unless called upon
to disclose the same before some legal tribunal?
4. Should the grand jury be required to return their true bills into
court without their being read out, and the clerk being required to
issue process thereon forthwith ? And should the clerk be required to
keep secret what true bills have been found, until say twenty days be¬
fore the next term of the court? Should the officer in whose hands
the process might come be required to keep that fact secret until he
shall have executed the same, unless said clerk, or officer, shall sooner
be required to disclose said facts by some legal tribunal ?
24
18 6 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, [Jan. 7.
5 . Should bench warrants issue in all penal cases, without cause
being shown ?
6 . What change in the law would you suggest to compel the attend¬
ance of witnesses? Should the Sheriff, or other officer, in the first
instance, be required and empowered to take the written recognizance
of witnesses, signed by the witness, to have the same effect as such
recognizances now have taken in open court; and if the witness
avoids its service, or refuses to execute the recognizance, to arrest and
admit him to bail as upon an order of arrest?
7 . AVhat are the advantages and disadvantages of the present laws
in regard to changes of venue ? Should the law be so changed as •
only to allow the sending to another county for a jury to try the case
where the defendant is entitled to a change of venue?
8 . Should the law which allows the defendant to make affidavit
against the judge, and cause the election or appointment of another,
be changed, or repealed altogether?
9 . Should the law in regard to contempts be amended; or is the
power of the fudge sufficient at present? i
10. What kind of jails is there in your districts as to healthiness
and security? How many escapes have occurred, and from what
jails, since your present term of office began ?
11 . Should the law governing pro tem. judges be repealed or chang¬
ed? And if changed, in what particulars?
Mr. Whitaker moved to amend said resolutions by adding the fol¬
lowing, to be addressed to each Commonwealth’s Attorney, viz:
How many, and what is the amount of fines and penalties in your
district since you have been in office of which you have received one
half, and then connived at depriving the State of its proportion, by
signing petitions for the remittance of the remainder?
Mr. Rhea moved to amend the amendment, as follows, viz:
What number of divorces have been granted at each term of their
respective courts, and the causes thereof ?
Mr. Pennebaker offered, as a substitute for said resolutions and
amendments, the following, viz:
Resolved , That the committee on Circuit Courts be instructed to re¬
port a bill increasing the salaries of circuit judges to three thousand
dollars per annum.
Mr. Fisk moved the previous question.
And the question being taken, Shall the main question be now pat?
it was decided in the affirmative.
The question was then taken on the substitute proposed by Mr. Pen-
nabaker, and the same was rejected.
Mr. Andrews then moved to lay said resolutions and amendments
upon the table.

ing in a condition which renders him wholly incompetent to discharge

An act for the benefit of William Yates, late sheriff of Mercer
county, and Randall Walker, of Anderson county.
Messages, in writing, were received from the Governor,by Mr. Mon¬
roe, Secretary of State.
On motion of Mr. Andrews,
Ordered , That the rule of the Senate requiring messages from the
Governor to lie one day on the table be suspended, and that said mes¬
sages be taken up.
W 7 hereupon the following message was read, as follows, viz:
Executive Office, 1
Frankfort, January 7, I860.)
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:
I herewith transmit a letter addressed to me by a committee of the
Washington National Monument Society, inclosing an Address to the
General Assembly of Kentucky, and another to the people of the Uni¬
ted States.
It will be seen that the object of the Society is to solicit aid in the
completion of the monument now in progress of erection at Washing-
ton City to the memory of the Father of his Country. I call your espe¬
cial attention to the letter and addresses, and recommend them to your
favorable consideration.
I concur with the committee of the Society, that it is needless to
enlarge upon the virtues of Washington, or his claim to the gratitude
of America. The object of the Society, as announced in their Address,
is to erect a monument which shall be the loftiest work of art in the
world—grand, simple, and colossal—commemorative, as it is intended
to be, of a grand simplicity and colossal proportion of character un¬
known, except in Washington, in the history of man. As a Kentuck¬
ian and an American citizen, I could not hesitate to respond to the
patriotic appeals of the Society. As a citizen of a State which cher¬
ishes with ardent affection the union of the States, I would do all in my
power to honor the man who was “ first in peace, first in war, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen,” and who was also first in devotion
to the Union. At this time it would be peculiarly appropriate for
Kentucky, the daughter of the mother of States and statesmen, to give
a renewed pledge of her attachment to the cause of the Union, and
of her love for the memory of him who periled so much to establish it.
The State has already given a contribution to the monument— a
block of Kentucky marble, inscribed with this significant motto: “Un¬
der the auspices of Heaven and the precepts of Washington, Kentucky
will be the last to give up the Union.” The work has been languish-

ing for years. Every one will agree that it ought to be speedily com¬
pleted. An appropriation at this time to that object, however small, ,
by the General Assembly of Kentucky, would tend to give additional
life to the enterprise, and encouragement to those who have with such
patriotic devotion undertaken to finish the monument.
B. MAGOFFIN.
Washington City, December Gth, 1859.
Sir : We beg leave to inclose to your care an address to the Legis¬
lature of your State, prepared in accordance with a resolution of the
Washington National Monument Society.
Considering the object of this structure, and the character of the
man in homage of whose name and fame it is to be erected, it would,
in the opinion of this Society, be still more expressive if the States of
the Union as sovereignties would each unite with the people in the
contribution of funds towards its completion.
If the relation in which you stand to the Legislature and to this mon¬
ument shall in your judgment render it proper, we request that the
wishes of your society may be placed before that honorable body in
such form as you think best.
We remain, with great respect,
Your obedient servants,
J. B. H. SMITH,

Committee.
His Excellency Governor Magoffin, Frankfort, Kentucky.
To the Legislature of Kentucky:
Under a resolution adopted by the Washington National Monument
Society, the subscribers were appointed a committee to address the
several States of the Union, with the view of obtaining their aid in
the completion of the National Monument now in the course of erec¬
tion in the metropolis of the Union, to the memory of Washington. f
In performance of their duty, the undersigned would respectfully
state, that on the 4th day of July, 1848, in the City of Washington,
upon public ground granted by Congress, the corner-stone of this mon¬
ument was laid under favorable auspices, in the presence of the Pres¬
ident of the United States and a large concourse of citizens, civil and
military. From that, day the work progressed surely and rapidly till
the 22d day of February, 1855, when it reached the elevation of one
hundred and seventy feet. The means were furnished by individual
contributions from American citizens. On the 22d day of February,
1855, by an unfortunate event, the work was wrested from the possession
and management of the present Board of Managers. Since that date
little or nothing has been accomplished. In October, 1858, the present

Board were reinstated in their trust, and they have again undertaken
the management, confiding in the patriotism and liberality of their
fellow^citizens to complete this national memorial. The Congress of
the United States, on the 22d day of February, 1859,incorporated them
by a public charter, one of the provisions of which constituted the
Governors of the several States ex-officio Vice Presidents of the Society.
Without going further into the details appertaining to the subject, the
undersigned beg leave to refer your honorable bodies to the accompa¬
nying pamphlet containing the address of the Society to the American
people, and an appendix from which a history of the Society, with full
details, may be gathered. We would add, that the Society would be
pleased to submit all its transactions to the investigation of your hon¬
orable bodies. The Society is now without funds for the accomplish¬
ment of its object, and it feels that it would be wanting in its duty,
did it fail to make this statement to the sovereign States of the Union,
and submit to them its respectful appeal for aid.
The undersigned would deem it presumption in them, and deroga¬
tory to the sensibilities of your honorable bodies, to enlarge upon the
virtues of Washington or his claim to the gratitude of America. The
fame of his virtues fills the world. The cheek of every American
glows with pride, and his heart throbs with gratitude at the mention
of his name; but that cheek also blushes with shame, and that heart
sinks with mortification, at the reflection that no fit memorial has yet
been erected to testify that pride and gratitude. The object of this
Society is to erect that memorial, and to make it the loftiest work of
art in the world—grand, simple, and colossal—commemorative, as it
is intended to be, of a grandeur, simplicity, and colossal proportion of
character unknown, except in Washington, in the history of man.
As in duty bound, we have the honor to he,
Your respectful servants,

Mr. Grover moved to suspend the rule of the Senate to enable
him to offer a substitute for the resolutions offered by Mr. Alexander
on the 17th December last.
And the question being taken thereon, it was decided in the affirma¬
tive.
Whereupon, Mr. Grover moved the following resolutions, viz:
Whereas, A large and constantly increasing political party exists in
the United States, the legitimate results of whose principles have
recently developed themselves by overt acts of rebellion, servile insurrec¬
tion, and, treason, in a sister State, resulting in the imprisonment of
some, and the shedding of blood and the destruction of the lives of
other loyal citizens of the United States; therefore,
1. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the Commonwealth of
Virginia in the trying ordeal through which she has lately passed;
that we cordially approve of the prompt arid efficient action of her
distinguished Executive in the execution of the laws and the protec¬
tion of the rights of the citizens; and that we hereby pledge the support,
and, if need be, the material aid of Kentucky, to the citizens of any of
our sister States in the maintenance of the constitution and laws of
the United States, the sovereignty of the States, and the rights of the
people.
2 . Resolved, That Kentucky is now, as heretofore, loyal to the con¬
stitution and laws of the United States, and the rights of the several
States, and ready at all times to execute their requirements in spirit
and letter; that while she will demand of her sister States no right
not guaranteed by the constitution and laws, she will submit to no wrong
in violation of either; and will ever look with distrust upon any of the
States, north or south, which refuses in good faith to execute the high
and solemn obligations imposed by the supreme law of the land.
3 . Resolved, That Kentucky regards the Union of the States under
the constitution as paramount to all other considerations, so long as
each State is protected thereby in its equal inalienable rights; and
that she looks with serious apprehension upon the growing tendency
to an alienation of that comity of feeling which hitherto has, and ever
should, exist between the brotherhood of States.
4. Resolved, That Kentucky, conscious of her own rectitude, relics
upon her own strength for its protection. Knowing no north and no south
—nothing but the Union, she appeals to no section; but that in the present
perilous attitude of public affairs, in order to protect the citizens from
external violence, and to enforce the laws, it is the imperative duty of
the present Legislature to adopt efficient measures to reorganize the
citizen soldiery of the State, and to induce the organization of inde¬
pendent companies throughout the Commonwealth, providing them,
when so organized, with arms and other military equipments.

5 . Resolved, That the Executive of this Commonwealth he requested
to forward, under*his official seal, a copy of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions to the President of the United States, to each of our
Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to each of the Govern¬
ors of the seA r eral States.
Ordered, That the said resolutions be referred to the committee on
Federal Relations, and that the Public Printer print 150 copies thereof
for the use of the General Assembly.
Mr. Rust moved that the rule of the Senate be suspended for the
purpose of allowing Senators to ask leave to bring in bills and offer
resolutions.
And the question being taken thereon, it was decided in the affirma¬
tive.
Whereupon the following resolutions were offered, viz:
On motion of Mr. Jenkins,
Resolved, That the Public Printer be requested to furnish the Senate,
as soon as practicable, with an estimate of the cost of printing three
thousand copies of the Revised Statutes of Kentucky in the style of
Stanton’s edition, at the State prices for printing, binding, and paper.
On motion of same,
Resolved, That the Secretary of State be requested to furnish the
Senate with the number of officers in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
who are entitled to a copy of the Revised Statutes under existing
laws.
On motion of Mr. Alexander,
Resolved, That the Speaker of the Senate appoint a committee of
three, whose duty it shall be to inquire into the expediency of amend¬
ing the laws governing express companies in this State, and whether
or not the citizens of this State are sufficiently protected under exist¬
ing laws on the subject of foreign express companies.
On motion of Mr. Jenkins,
Resolved, That the Librarian be requested to inform the Senate of
the number of old copies of the Revised Statutes now belonging to the
State undistributed.
Mr. Alexander moved to amend said resolution, as follows, viz:
And that he also state whether or not additional room is needed for
the books of the State; and whether or not the reports of the Auditor,
and other works in the Capitol, are not exposed to damage and loss.
And the question being taken upon the adoption of the amendment,
it was decided in the affirmative.
On motion of Mr. Johnson,
Resolved, That the Governor he requested to furnish, at his earliest

Cumberland Hospital since 1850. Also, the laws now in force for the •

pensed with,

ker, and Read.
Which was granted.

Hon. Thomas P. Porter, Speaker of the Senate:
In obedience to a resolution of the Senate, handed me this day,
making inquiries as to the number of old Revised Statutes undistrib¬
uted : I am informed that there are yet in the hands of Col. Hodges 40
copies bound, and 430 copies unbound, in the sheets ; about 200 copies
at the State Arsenal, in the care of the Quarter-Master General; and
GO copies in the State Library; there are also 350 copies of the Code
of Practice. In regard to the different reports of the State officers, I
can only say that the committee rooms of the State Capitol have been
used for that purpose; it would be much better to have a room prop¬
erly arranged with shelves, for safely keeping the reports alluded to,
from year to year, as it is very difficult to keep the reports in proper
order.
A. W. YALLANDINGUAM,

Ordered, That the Public Printer forthwith print 150 copies of said
response for the use of the General Assembly.

Mr. Andrews moved the following resolution, viz.
Whereas, The citizens and city authorities of Louisville have re¬
solved to give a union festival, in honor of the State of I ennessee, on
Tuesday, the 24th, at which festival the Senators and Representatives
of Tennessee have expressed their intention to be present, therefore,
b<3 Resolved by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That it is with
no ordinary feelings of national fraternity, as well as of social pleas¬
ure, that we accept of the kind invitation of the citizens and city
authorities of Louisville, to meet the Senators and Representatives of
the intelligent, law-abiding, union-loving people of Tennessee, and
that the Speaker of the Senate notify them of the acceptance of then-
invitation.
Which was adopted.
Mr. Rust, from the committee on the Geological Survey, made the
following report, viz:
The Committee on Geological Survey, having had under considera¬
tion the subject of the Geological Survey of the State, beg leave to
submit the following report: ,
The manuscript report of the Geologist and his assistants, embi acing
the observations of the various members of the geological corps, and
the results of the survey for the last two years, now nearly ready lor
the press, will comprise from five hundred to seven hundred pages ot
printed matter of the same dimensions as volume third.
From the statements made by the State Geologist, the committee
have reason to believe that said report will embrace subjects ot fully
as much practical importance and general interest to the citizens o
the State as any of the preceding volumes; comprising, as it does,the
results of a thorough investigation into the qualities, succession, super¬
position, parallelism, equivalency, and local modifications of the entire
coal-measures of Kentucky—showing their thickness, and comparing
the same with those of Pennsylvania, and what is known of the Utuo
coal-field. It will contain descriptions and maps of the boundary
and area of the two great coal-fields of Kentucky, the east and west,
both of which are now minutely meandered, as well also as the num¬
ber of seams of workable coal in each of these coal-fields, compared
with those of the above mentioned States, with local modificationsi in
thickness and relative position, together with a dissertation on tue
identification of coals at distant localities by simple examination oi
the specific character of the fossils of the roof shales. _
It exhibits the topography and geology, not only of the entire bas
line run from west to east through the State, but also that ot i
meandered outline of each coal-field. ,
In addition to these important matters, relating not only to me
geology, but to the topography and geography of the State, the tor -
coming Geological Report records and describes the chemical anaty
of 165 soils, from 55 different counties of the State; 223 samples o
ores, fluxes, slags, and pig-iron, connected with the iron products an
iron interests of the State, besides about 140 specimens of clays, man*.

limestones, mineral waters, &c., making in all 528 analyses. And it is
believed that the soil analyses, together with other analyses already
reported, will form one of the most important contributions to agricul¬
tural chemistry ever published. We therefore recommend that 5,000
copies of the report of the Geological Surveys carried on in the year
1858 and 1859, be ordered to be printed, together with the accompany¬
ing maps, diagrams, and other illustrations.
The committee would further report, that in consequence of out¬
standing bills for the publication of the second and third volumes of
the Geological Report, amounting to seven thousand five hundred and
twenty-nine dollars and nineteen cents, having been paid according to
the provisions of the act approved February 17, 1858, making further
appropriation of money for the Geological Survey, the geological corps
have been left without adequate means to pay the expenses of making
out thorough reports in their various departments of the survey, and
therefore several of the members of the geological corps still remain
unpaid for a portion of their office work. The outstanding deficiency
for said work amounts to from twelve hundred to two thousand
dollars.
The committee have further to report, that according to the esti¬
mates of the State Geologist, it will require at least two years, with
an appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars per annum, to complete
the geographical, topographical, and geological surveys of the follow¬
ing counties in the two great coal-fields of Kentucky, to wit: Carter,
Lawrence, Jackson, and Morgan, in the eastern coal-field, and Han¬
cock, Daviess, McLean, Ohio, Butler, Muhlenburg, and Henderson, in
the western coal-field, on the same plan of the topographico-geologi-
cal maps already completed of the counties of Uniqn, Greenup, and
Hopkins.
The committee, agreeing with the State Geologist in the opinion
that coal is the most valuable of all our mineral products, deem it
advisable first to complete the surveys in the two coal-fields; but in
order to do justice to the whole State, and to be able to accomplish the
final object of a Geological Survey—the construction of an accurate
geological map of the entire State—recommend that these surveys be
followed up by others extending through the counties occupying the
belt of the barren limestone; succeeded by surveys of the region occu¬
pied by the knob sandstone, ash-colored and black shales of the Salt
river valley—both of which formations afford iron ores of different
qualities—and then carried over the zone of the corolline, or Falls
limestone, and finally, over the area of the blue limestone.
It may not be improper for the committee here to revert to the im¬
portance and utility of the Agricultural Department of the Survey.
In the reports heretofore published, the numerous chemical analyses
of soils, from different counties in the State, have not only shown the
peculiarities in composition of soils derived from different geological
formations, but their comparative fertility and adaptability to certain
crops, as well as of the ingredients removed by a series of years of
cultivation, and the source from which they may be most easily and
economically regained.
228
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Jan. 14
In the forthcoming report, 105 chemical analyses of soils will be
added to the 300 already printed, besides much valuable uHormatioit
showing the chemical composition of the ashes of tobacco, corn, and
wheat ; also, investigations on the grape juice, and explaining fully
what is removed from the soil by these plants, and how to prevent, or,
at least mitigate, the exhausting influences they exert on land.
There are many more valuable facts in agricultural chemistry
which cannot fail, we believe, to be of great utility to every enlighten¬
ed farmer, and tend gradually to introduce an improved, economical
system of agriculture, and arrest the reckless and wasteful consump¬
tion of the mineral ingredients, which have already, in half a century,
diminished the wheat crop at least one half, even on the originally
most fertile lands of the west; while, in the same space of time, on
far inferior lands of Europe, by a careful and judicious application of
scientific principles, the wheat crop has been doubled.
The committee, therefore, in view of the great advantages which
the Geological Survey has been, and will be to the farmer, the manu¬
facturer, and to the owners of land throughout the State, independent
of all the geographical information conveyed thereby, and as being
the means of directing attention abroad to our agricultural and min¬
eral resources, do recommend an appropriation of fifteen thousand
dollars per annum for two years to meet the expenses of said Geologi¬
cal Survey, and pay the outstanding accounts due the members of the
geological corps incurred in making out their reports.
The committee would further recommend, that 200 copies of the
forthcoming report of the Geological Survey be placed at the disposal
of the State Geologist, for the purpose of reciprocating exchanges with
other State Geologists, and his scientific friends generally.
Futhermore, the committee recommend that 1,000 additional copies
of the Geological Report be printed and set apart for foreign distribu¬
tion; and as the most economical and effectual method of having said
report distributed through foreign countries, they recommend thaf it
be done through the medium of the Smithsonian Institute, at Wash¬
ington City, D. C. HENRY M. RUST, Chairman.
Ordered, That the Public Printer print 150 copies thereof for the

Mr. Bruner, from the same committee, made a minority report,
which is as follows, viz:
The minority of the committee appointed by the Senate, to apportion
representation in the Senate and House of Representatives, being
unable to concur in the report of the majority of the committee, and
being of the opinion that the present General Assembly has no power,
under the constitution, to appportion representation either in the Senate
or House of Representatives, would respectfully submit the following,
among other reasons, which induced', he minority of the committee to
284 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE [Jan. 19.
arrive at that conclusion: In a popular government, recognizing the
equal rights of all the citizens, and regulated by their will, no principle
is more radical than that of representation. Safety, stability, and a
just approximation to equality of representative power, forbid that the
ratio of representation should be left to legislative caprice or party
pride, uncontrolled by constitutional checks. And this is the theory of
the present constitution of Kentucky, analogous, in this respect, to the
two former constitutions, all of which prescribe fixed times for the
enumeration of the representative population, and the apportionment,
thereupon, of representation in each branch of the Legislature. And
no provisions are more organic or inviolable than these. Our last con¬
stitution required quadrennial enumerations and an apportionment, for
four years succeeding each enumeration; our existing constitution fixed
the year 1857 for an enumeration, and the next succeeding legislative
session for an apportionment for eight years, and every succeeding eighth
year for successive enumerations, and every proximate session for the succes¬
sive apportionment. And although these fundamental provisions are in
the form of injunctions, yet their obvious purpose leaves no ground for
any implied or inherent power in the Legislature to authorize enumera¬
tions or make apportionments, at any other times, or for a shorter or
longer period, than as prescribed by the constitution. Such has been
the uniform practical interpretation of each of our former constitutions,
as well as of the constitution of the United States, which is less specific
than either of our three constitutions. And any other construction would
nvllijy the constitution and frustrate its manifest purpose in fixing the times
and duration of each successive apportionment. Then as the Legislature
next succeeding the enumeration of 1857 chose not to make the appor¬
tionment, as authorized and directed by the constitution, can any other
Legislature do it before the end of the period of eight years, as limited
by the constitution ? If any other can, then the last which may set
during the present octade, two years of which have now expired, may
certainly do it as well as that now in session. Such an irregular
course would derange the entire system wisely established by the
constitution. The apportionment, when made, must be for eight years.
This cannot be done, because the constitution imperiously requires an¬
other apportionment for eight years to be made at the end of the now
partially spent octade. And, if the present Legislature could make
an apportionment for a shorter period than eight years, each succeed¬
ing Legislature would have just the same right to make an apportion¬
ment for only two years, or for any other period, longer or shorter, in
its unlimited discretion; and then the provisions of the constitution,
limiting legislative power and discretion, would be as inefficacibus as
a mere brutum fulmen ; all its precautions would be eluded, and the
agitations, uncertainties, and injustice which it intended to prevent by
not leaving the time or duration of apportionment to the accidents ol
legislative majorities, and the caprice of legislative will, would be
unchecked by any fundamental constitution.
Consequently, without elaborating argument or illustration, the
minority of your committee are of opinion that the Legislature now
sitting has no constitutional right to apportion representation or change

the Senatorial districts, which should remain as they are until the period
fived hv the constitution. And moreover, in the judgment of the
minority of your committee, the determination of the last Legislature
to make no change in the apportionment, or in the elective districts, is
entitled constructively, to‘the constitutional effect of a legislative
declaration that the apportionment and districts previously arranged,
and still unchanged, were about as they ought to be, and should there¬
fore be continued for eight years, when, and not sooner, they mig
changed under the authority of the supreme law of the lanff

Whereas, The State of Kentucky is governed by the same local
interests as our sister State of Tennessee, and the two States are now
brought into more intimate business relations by the completion of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, while other links of intercommuni¬
cation are in contemplation; and it was recently affirmed by the Legis¬
lature of Tennessee that the State has by legislation established exten¬
sive railway intercommunications with her sister States, tending to
cement their union by commercial interest, and to develop their
respective sources of wealth, to the especial benefit of each, for the
good of the whole; through the patriotic generosity of the States lying
west of the Mississippi river, and of the government of the United
States, a continuous line of railroad from the termini of the Tennessee
railways, at Memphis, and from other ports on the Mississippi river,.

has been provided for as far as the eastern boundary line of the State
of Texas ; and Texas has nobly granted the Southern Pacific Railroad 1
the right of way, and authority to construct a railroad from the east¬
ern boundary of that State to El Paso, on the Rio Grande, on the con¬
fines of the United States’ Territory of Arizona, and to enable it to
complete the same has granted to said company, in fee-simple, sixteen
sections of land and a loan for ten years of $6,000 for every mile
thereof constructed, thus completing half the distance from the Missis¬
sippi river to the Pacific ocean; and for extending this road to the
Pacific ocean, the extent of line across the territory of Arizona, a dis¬
tance of 572 miles, and over California, of 260 miles, making the total
distance from El Paso to the Pacific ocean 838 miles, means are yet
unprovided; and by the climate, topography, materials, fuel, water,
and a country whose agricultural and mineral resources are inviting
their development of inexhaustible wealth, nature has stamped upon
this line all the qualities of a great national railway—not a mere
individual or State enterprise, but one tending to nationality in its
character, and even to be a thoroughfare to foreign nations, promot¬
ing, revolutionizing, and regulating the commerce of the several States
of the Union, and of the United States, with other parts of the world,
and of the States with each other; affording to the government of the
United States a direct, safe, and speedy military and postal route,
within the federal territory, between its Atlantic and Pacific States,
whereby mails, troops, and munitions of war may at all times hereaf¬
ter be transported with utmost speed and safety; and the completion
of this inter-oceanic railway will be greatly conducive to the best
interests of the State of Kentucky and the entire west and southwest; j
therefore,
Resolved, That we regard the Southern Pacific Railroad as a neces¬
sity of the age, and that we commend it, and its extension from El
Paso, through Arizona, to the Pacific ocean, to the favorable consider- [
ation of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, so as to obtain
therefor such countenance and aid as may, within due constitutional
limits, be properly conferred.
Resolved, That a copy of foregoing preamble and resolution be fur¬
nished each one of our Senators and Representatives in Congress of
the United States, by the Governor, as soon after their passage as pos¬
sible.

Mr. Andrews then moved to reconsider the vote by which the Senate
discharged the committee on Finance from the further consideration of
a leave to bring in a bill for the benefit of J. R. Botts and others.
The Speaker laid before the Senate the following communication, !
which was read, viz:
Hamilton, 0., January 30, 1860.
Sir: I have the honor, as chairman of a very large and respectable
meeting of the citizens of this city and county, held on the 28tli inst, ,
to transmit to you herewith a copy of their resolutions, expressive of
regret that an opportunity was not afforded them of demonstrating
their friendship for the distinguished visitors from Kentucky, Tennessee,
and other States, on their recent excursion through a portion of Ohio;
and their attachment to that Constitution and Union under which we
have so long prospered, and which bind us all to a common destiny.
I am, sir, your obt. servant, ,
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
President of the Senate, Frankfort, Ky.
Resolutions adopted by the citizens of the city of Hamilton and county of But¬
ler, Ohio, at a meeting held at the Court-House in Hamilton, on Saturday
evening, January 28, 1860 :
Resolved, That we hail with unfeigned delight the recent excursion '
of the legislators, executive officers, and other visitors from Kentucky,
Tennessee, and other States, through a portion of Ohio, as the harbin¬
ger of an era of fraternal feeling between the different sections of our
Confederacy, and as a new guaranty of the perpetuity of the Union j
secured to us by the patriots of the American Revolution.
Resolved, That, as citizens of the city of Hamilton and of the county
of Butler, we acknowledge a sense of chagrin, mortification, and pro -
found regret, occasioned by the refusal of the officers of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad Company to stop the excursion train
of the 27th inst. a very few moments, to enable the multitude who had
assembled, to tender to the visitors, through their chosen organ, their
hospitalities and assurances of fraternal regard.
Ordered, That the Public Printer forthwith print 150 copies thereof
for the use of the General Assembly.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Whitaker, Andrews, and Walton a
committee to prepare a suitable response to said communication.
Mr. Gillis, from the committee on Enrollments, reported that the
committee had examined an enrolled resolution, originating in the
House of Representatives, entitled
A resolution fixing a time for final adjournment.
And had found the same truly enrolled. ^

The committee on the Penitentiary made the following report, viz:
The Committee have visited the Prison on several occasions during
the session" and examined into the condition of the inmates and build-
m| Theyfindthat the prisoners are in as good condition as is practica-
ble with the present condition of the workshops, cell buildin 0 ,
Prison yard The workshops are in rather bad condition, and require
Improvements to be made, to make them suitable for the
which they are used. This is particularly so in regard to the buHcUng
iv used y for the manufactured hemp, which is entire y too small for
the number of men employed in that business, besides, it is, on ac
count of its construction, exceedingly unhealthy, the ceiling bein 0 too
low, and the building badly ventilated. There
It is absolutely necessary to have more cells for the P rlB ^rs^ lhe
are now only two hundred and fifty-two cells and about three-,hnm r
convicts, and the number is increasing; so that it is
Keeper to confine them at night in separate cells. This deficiency
can be remedied by raising the cell house one story ^higher which
would give eighty-four additional cells. If this is done, and the cell
house mid the other buildings contemplated t0 J? e ^d^mde^ecure
proof, the Penitentiary buildings and fixtures will be much more secure
th It isfalso necessary that the dining room should be e^arged^and a
new kitchen built. The diningroom is too small for fhe^mnber of
convicts now in the Prison, and, as before stated, that number
W The*western ^workshop needs a new roof and considerable vepairs.
The floors and walls are in such a condition that the machinery do
not work well; and, besides, the building is uncomfortable
It would add greatly to the comfort of the inmates, an ^ to the

annual interest upon the whole public debt of the State. The resources
nf the Sinking Fund of the State are more than ample to meet the
demands upon it for some years to come. It now has a surplus of
£758 283 28, a large proportion of which has been loaned out to indi¬
viduals upon bank stock security ; and your committee are led to believe
that with wise and prudent management, the resources of that fund
wUl constantly increase. The honor and credit of the State is of such
a high character that opportunities of redeeming any of her outstand
ing bonds at par, before maturity, is seldom presented, and without
some extraordinary and unlooked for shock in the monetary affairs of
the country, seriously affecting the credit of the State, your committee
are satisfied that she will be unable to redeem at par but a very small
portion if any, of her bonds until they shall fall due. In the meantime
the surplus in the Sinking Fund will be accumulating. would be
unwise P to suffer it to be idle when it can be safely and profitably in¬
vested In view of the richness of the Sinking Fund, and its ability to
more than satisfy the demands upon it for years to come the Legisla¬
ture, by a law which took effect 1st July, 1852, ( Revised Statutes, pa e
624,) directed the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, whenever the
means of that fund were not needed to pay the interest upon the public
debt, or not be applied to the payment or purchase of State bonds
to subscribe and pay for the stocks in the Bank of Kentucky, and the
Bank of Louisville, which had been reserved for the Commons ealth ot
Kentucky. Your committee approve of the mode of investing these
funds, indicated by the law to which they have referred. Nothin
since its passage has transpired to cause them to doubt the soundne.
of its policy; but, on the contrary, much has occurred to strengthen and
sustain it. They are advised, however, that none of these reserved
stocks have been subscribed for by the Sinking Fund ommis»ioners.
To secure the safe and profitable investment of the surplus which has
or may hereafter accumulate in the Sinking Fund, your commi ee
herewith report a bill which they conceive the public interest require
should become a law. _, t ,ott » t t

JOURNAL OP THE SENATE
[Feb. 15,
The committee on Finance, according to order of the Senate, report¬
ed the following bill, and their opinion in writing, viz:
A bill authorizing the erection of a monument over the graves of
Daniel Boone and wife.
Whereas, It is represented to the present General Assembly, that
some years since, the remains of Daniel Boone and wife were removed
from the State of Missouri, and interred in the Frankfort cemetery,
and that their graves are without any lasting mark to point the next
generation to the spot where the bones of that distinguished pioneer
and his wife are deposited; therefore,
§ 1 . Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Ken¬
tucky, That His Excellency, the Governor of Kentucky, cause to be
erected over the graves of said Daniel Boone and wife a durable mon¬
ument, of such size and design, and with such inscriptions as maybe
suitable, and as may appropriately convey to posterity the estimation
in which they were held by the present generation.
§ 2. Be it further enacted, That the Governor be authorized to use, in
the erection of said monument, any money that may be raised by pri¬
vate subscription, and that he draw upon the treasury for the balance
of the cost of said monument, not exceeding fourteen hundred dollars.
§ 3. This act to be in force from its passage.
The committee on Finance, to whom was referred a bill, entitled
“An act authorizing the erection of a monument over the graves of
Daniel Boone and wife,” beg leave to make the following report:
A majority of the committee doubt the propriety of appropriating
money which has been exacted from the people by taxation, for gov¬
ernmental purposes, to the erection of monuments over the departed
dead; and although this and former Legislatures have in a few in¬
stances departed from this line of policy, it has been only where the
monument was intended to perpetuate the memory of some illustrious
patriot and statesman, whose public services had won for himself a
world-wide reputation, and cast reflected glory and renown upon the
State in which he lived, and beneath whose sod his ashes lie buried.
Monuments have also been erected to the memory of those who fell
upon the battle-field in defense of their country, and in honor of the
proud victories they achieved, indicating to future generations at once
the high estimation in which their services are held, and the profound
gratitude we feel for their noble self-sacrificing devotion to their coun¬
try’s cause. But where are we to stop ? How are we to determine
the quantum of public service, or personal reputation, which will de¬
mand of the Legislature an appropriation for the erection of a monu¬
ment ? These considerations, however, have not of themselves exer¬
cised a controlling influence over the minds of the committee. We
entertain a high regard for the life and character of Daniel Boone,
both of which are so intimately interwoven with the early history of
Kentucky, and in expressing the opinion that this bill ought not tb
pass, we defer to no men in our exalted estimation of his character,
and profound gratitude for his services.

his character,
Daniel Boone died in Missouri. At the session of the Legislature of
1844—’5 measures were adopted to have his and his wife s remains
brought to Kentucky; which was done, and on the 15th of September,
1845? the ashes of that illustrious pioneer were deposited in the Frank¬
fort cemetery, where they now rest, in a spot “ as beautiful as nature
and art can make it.” Surrounded by the rugged scenes of nature he
so wildly loved, and overlooking the banks of that river upon which
his first settlement in Kentucky was made, would a monument such
as is contemplated by the bill add anything to his memory, or more
tastefully indicate his last resting-place? We think not. His chief
delight while living was amid the silent grandeur of the forest, far
removed from the haunts of men; fieeifig from the encroachments of
civilization, “to where nature in her solemn majesty spoke to his un¬
hackneyed heart a language unknown to the dwellers in the crowded
marts of men.” . .
Would it be fit, appropriate, or in any wise illustrative of the me
and character of such a man, to erect a costly monument to his -mem¬
ory? No, rather let his ashes rest amid scenes he so dearly loved,
unadorned by any work of art, which, if living, he would despise.
If anything whatever be done, let a simple stone, bearing his name,
be placed at his grave; which can be done at but little cost, and will
more appropriately indicate “ the spot where the bones of that distin¬
guished pioneer are deposited.”
We are of opinion that the bill, in present shape, ought not to pass.

The Senate then, according to order, took up for consideration a

A bill to divide the State into fourteen circuit court judicial districts.
On motion of Mr. Alexander, said bill was laid on the table.
Mr. Gillis, from the committee on Enrollments, reported that the

ernor for his approval and signature.

The Senate then, according to order, took up for consideration a
bill, entitled
A bill to provide for the completion of the unfinished business, and
additional clerks for the Auditor’s office.
Said bill reads as follows, viz:
Whereas, Information having been given the Legislature of Ken¬
tucky, by the acting Auditor, Thos. S. Page, Esq., that the business of
the Auditor’s office has so increased that the present force in the office
cannot perform the duties of it, and that additional clerks, with better
salaries, should be provided ; that the labor and responsibilities of the
Auditor have greatly increased in the last few years; and also, that
there will be a large amount of unfinished business remaining over in
the office upon the expiration of the term of the present incumbent;
wherefore,
§ 1. Re it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Ken¬
tucky, That Grant Green, the Auditor elect, be empowered and direct¬
ed to employ Thomas S. Page and a clerk to bring up the unfinished
business of the Auditor’s office to the 2d day of January, 1860, and
the sum of eight hundred dollars is hereby appropriated for the pay¬
ment of said services; and the Auditor is directed to draw his warrant
on the treasury for the payment of said sum, out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated, upon the completion of said
§ 2. Be it further enaeted, That the additional sum of not exceeding
$l,50u be annually appropriated to the Auditor, out of the treasury,
tor the employment of one or more additional clerks than those now
Greeted by law to be employed for the Auditor’s office, to be drawn
rom the treasury in the same manner as former appropriations for the
same purpose are now by law' drawn : Provided, That nothing in this
act shall be construed authorizing the drawing from the treasury the
8a 'd amount of fifteen hundred dollars herein appropriated, or any
part thereof, unless the same be paid bona fide to clerks employed un-
er ac t in the Auditor’s office.

By special leave, Mr. Johnson offered the following resolutions, viz:
1. Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
That tobacco, one of the great American staples, has for more than fifty
years been the subject of the most burthensome taxation; that whilst
there is a tariff of thirty per cent, protection on sugar, and cotton is
admitted in all the ports of the world duty free, and breadstuffs, and
beef, pork, and lard are subject to the payment of only a nominal duty,
tobacco, the great Western staple, is subject to a foreign duty, before
it can be sold in the principal foreign markets, of seventy-seven dol¬
lars per one hundred pounds.
2. That the Federal Government has the power to fix the details of
commercial treaties, upon the principle of reciprocity and mutual ex¬
pected benefit; and that such treaties have now become the policy oi
all civilized nations, our own included; and while every other product
of this country has been placed upon the most favorable footing,
tobacco has been wholly neglected, and this great interest has been
left to languish at home, and feed and clothe and pamper princes and
nobles abroad.
3. It is the duty of the United States, in all future treaties with
Great Britain and other foreign powers, where American tobacco is
sold, to insist upon placing tobacco upon a footing with other produc¬
tions exported from the United States to foreign countries.
4. That if all other means fail, then we demand countervailing
duties upon the productions and manufactures of those governments,

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE.
[Feb. 23,
The Speaker decided, that as the Senator was not in the Senate
Chamber when the question was put, he could not have his vote
recorded.
From which decision Mr. Andrews appealed, and filed the following
bill of exceptions, viz:
Mr. Andrews stated that he had been in the Senate all morning;
had voted, as the journal would show, several times; and had been
called on business to the ante-room, a room adjoining the Chamber.to
which members resorted for business, and used as a committee room,
which, for all practical purposes, was a part of the Senate Chamber;
and when the Speaker stated the question to the Senate upon concur- ,
ring in the report of the committee of Conference on the apportion¬
ment of representation, that he heard the Speaker’s voice; and when
the clerk called his name he walked to the door between the Chamber
and ante-room, but not inside the Chamber, and looked at the Speaker
and bowed, intending and desiring to be recognized by the Speaker,
and, as he supposed at the time, he was so recognized; from which he
supposed, when the call was through, he could vote, he not desiring
to disturb the call by the clerk; when the call was through, and before
the result was announced, a Senator moved that he be permitted to
record his vote; it was decided that if the Senator’s vote would change
the result he could not vote under the rule. Mr. Andrews stated that
it was well known to the Senate, that while it is true that he had not
been a member of the committee on apportionment, that he had fully
concurred in the minority report, (Mr. Bruner’s;) and for the reasons
stated in the report; that because of these views he could not and
would not vote for any apportionment bill, however just and fair the
same might be. He, therefore, not. desiring to lose his vote, moved
that he now be permitted to record his vote against said bill; which
motion the Speaker overruled as out of order, and from which Senator
Andrews appealed.
Mr. Whitaker moved to send a committee to the House of Repre¬
sentatives, and ask leave to withdraw the concurrence of the Senate
to the report made by the committee of Conference upon the bill to
apportion representation.
And the question being taken thereon, it was decided in the affirma¬
tive.

McKee, were as follows, viz:
Those who voted in the affirmative, were—

For the foregoing statistics relative to the financial condition of
these works, the committee are indebted to the report, for 1859, of Dr.
D. R. Haggard, late President of the Board of Internal Improvement.
From the most reliable information which we have been able to
obtain, the present indebtedness of the Kentucky river line is about
$1,000, whilst that of Green and Barren rivers is not less than $12,000.
Finding that the average net receipts of these works, since they were
first opened, exceed by more than $1,000 per annum the expenditures
for the same time; and that even the receipts for the year 1859 on
Green and Barren rivers exceed the expenditures for that year in the
sum of $31 88, the committee are unable to determine why said lines
are encumbered with their present indebtedness.
The oommittee respectfully recommend the appointment of a com¬
mittee to settle with the late Board of Internal Improvement, owing
to the discrepancy which seems to exist between the facts as elicited
by them, and the facts as published by the late board, requiring said
oommittee to report to the Governor.
The committee would suggest to the General Assembly the propri-
otyof repealing an act passed by the Legislature, and approved March
10th, 1854, authorizing the President of the Board of Internal Im¬
provement to draw indiscriminately upon the treasury for whatever
tunds the Board, at its discretion, may choose to expend upon these
Works. The Board should have the right in certain emergencies, such
as might grow out of the washing away of a dam, abutment, or any
other breach of said works which would hinder navigation, to draw
u Pon the treasury for a sufficient amount to repair said damage, pro¬
dded the amount shall not exceed ten thousand dollars, the same to be
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
refunded to the treasury out of the first net profits accruing from said
works.
The committee would further recommend the propriety of a change
being made in the time when the President of this Board shall make
his report, from the 10th October to the 10th of January.
The committee would further recommend the passage of an act
compensating the Auditor, in the sum of three hundred dollars per
annum, for his services as acting secretary and member of said Board,
which duties are incumbent on him by law, without any compensation
for the discharge thereof.
JAS. R. BARRICK.
ALBERT D. COSBY.
The undersigned, a member of the committee appointed to examine
into and report the condition of the Kentucky, Green, and Barren
river navigation, has not had an opportunity to make such an investi¬
gation as will enable him to indorse the correctness of all the facts and
statistics set out in the foregoing majority report. He concurs fully
with the majority as to the condition of the locks and dams of the said
rivers.
Without indorsing the reasons assigned by the majority therefor, the
undersigned concurs in the propriety of the appointment of a commit¬
tee to settle with the late Board of Internal Improvement. But he
cannot concur in the propriety of allowing additional compensation to
the Auditor of Public Accounts, who is, cx-officio, Secretary of the Board
of Internal Improvement. The same services which have been and
are to be performed by the Auditor as Secretary aforesaid, were per¬
formed by his predecessor without compensation other than that which
he received as Auditor. The undersigned regards the proposition of
the majority of the committee as an indirect mode of increasing the
salary of the Auditor, to which he cannot give his consent.
As to the proposed repeal of the act of March 10, 1854, the under¬
signed concurs with the majority.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. Andrews, from a select committee, made the following report,
viz:
The joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatives,
who were, by resolution of the two Houses, instructed to confer with
the Hon. W. C. Dunlap, commissioner appointed by the Legislature of
the State of Tennessee, in relation to the cession of that part of Ken¬
tucky lying in Madrid Bend, in Fulton county, report
That they have had a conference with the Hon. W. C. Dunlap, and
he has submitted to them a proposition for the cession of that portion
of Kentucky lying in Madrid Bend to the State of Tennessee, also, a
petition from the citizens of Kentucky living in said Bend, asking that
said cession be made. Although the citizens in said Bend petition for
such cession, yet the proposition made by the commissioner from Ten¬
nessee (though liberal upon the part of that State) is such that the
committee have thought that the same could not be accepted by Ken¬
tucky. The session of the Legislature being so near its terminus, the
committee have thought that they have not time to mature a proposi¬
tion and present the same to this Legislature for its adoption, which
would do justice to the citizens of Fulton county and this State, and
one likely to meet the approbation of the commissioner on the part of
the State of Tennessee; therefore, they asked to be discharged from
the further consideration of the subject.
Which was received, read, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Grundy moved to be allowed to have his vote recorded against
the apportionment bill.
Mr. Fisk objected.
The Speaker decided his vote, objection having been made, could
not be recorded.

Whereupon the Speaker delivered the following address:
Gentlemen of the Senate : The time for us to separate has come,
and it is to me, as it doubtless is to you, attended with mingled feel¬
ings of pleasure and regret. Of pleasure, because it releases us from
arduous labors, and assures us that the hour draws near when we shall
greet our friends at home, and once more embrace those who have
around our firesides so anxiously awaited our return.
It is to'me a moment of regret. I separate from those endeared to
me by constant acts of kindness, by uniform courtesies, and by a strict
observance of those rules so necessary to the government and good
order of all deliberative bodies. Without the aid thus generously
given, the position of presiding officer over this body, so delicate and
responsible, would have been anything but a pleasant one.
The incidents of the session which is about to close, and the associ¬
ations connected with them, will ever fie treasured among the most
pleasing reminiscences of the past; and whatever may be my future
fortunes—when I look back over the past no period of my life will be
recurred to with more pleasure.
You have labored long, and with fidelity to the best interests of.your
constituents. You have been in these labors actuated by but one
motive—the common good. You have had but one object in view—
the glory, prosperity, and happiness of our beloved Commonwealth,
iou have enacted many laws, among them some of the utmost impor¬
tance to the people of Kentucky. I trust I will be excused for refer-
! ln S more particularly to those passed during the present session,
'mmediately connected with, and intended to improve, the common
school system. Far more interesting are those laws and that system to
the people of the State than all others. Many years ago the idea was
conceived, and years after the system was inaugurated; but, like
many other noble systems, on account of unwise legislation and other
causes unnecessary to detail, it languished even before it had emerged

from its infancy. The patriotic framers of our present constitution
deeply impressed with the importance of the subject, and the neces¬
sity of rescuing the fund set apart for its support from the control and
caprice of the Legislature, wisely incorporated into that instrument a
provision declaring that that fund should be forever held sacred. Since
that time the system has steadily prospered. The people, having con¬
fidence in its stability, have generously taken upon themselves the bur¬
den of taxation for its support, and they will, in pursuance of an act
passed this winter, again be called upon to assume further burdens of
that kind ; and they will, in my opinion, cheerfully respond to,the call.
This beneficent system will prove a blessing to this and future gen¬
erations. Learning is now, and will continue to be, within the reach
of the humblest child of the humblest parent. Education, with all its
attendant blessings, will be diffused throughout the land, and our Gov¬
ernment, based, as it is, on the principles of civil and religious liberty,
with its honors open to all, will be more firmly established in the hearts
of a free and intelligent people.
Those now living, and those to come after us, will invoke blessings
upon the philanthropist who conceived the plan, upon the statesman
who made it as lasti ng as the constitution itself, and upon those who
have so generously fostered it. It is, and will continue to be, a proud
monument to its authors, to the framers of the constitution, and to
those whose generous impulses and wise statesmanship have made it
to prosper. May it be perpetual.
Senators, I have already detained you too long with a subject that
may not be considered appropriate upon an occasion like this. That
word, “ that hath been and will be,” a word so often the last between
friends, must now be spoken. Farewell, farewell, to each one of yon.
May God bless you and yours.
I new declare this Senate adjourned sine die.
